In this video, the 5th of Alex’s adventures on the salt, she’s making license runs! How fast will she go? Will she get to 200 mph? More than 200 mph? Watch and find out. The weather has not cooperated, and the standing water has been nuts, but she finally got to make her first runs on the salt. If you missed the previous videos we’ve got a link below to check them all out.
Bonneville is a special place for me. The fact that I am not there this year is hard. I’ve been 238 miles per hour on the salt at Bonneville, and have been a part of racing for records there for more than 15 years. It’s a special place, an amazing experience, and something truly special. So when I heard that Alex Taylor was going to get to go this year, and make her first runs on the salt in a well known 2nd Gen Camaro, it pulled at my heart strings. I made my first runs, and my fastest to date, driving the famed So-Al, Hot Rod Magazine Special, with Keith Turk and David Freiburger and it was an amazing experience. Alex has started putting out videos from Bonneville, and despite delays due to weather you will get to see what it is like to go out and try this out.
Her goal is to get her AA license, which means she will have to travel down the salt at over 250 mph, and she might even go after a record. We’ll see, but regardless of how fast she gets during the week she will certainly have a great time. Watch.

Video Description:
Talk about addicting! The salt fever everyone tells you about is veryyyy real. We worked to squeeze in my licensing passes in on day 2 of the salt being open. The weather originally pushing back the start of speed week has made some prior commitments I have interfere with my attempt to set a record this week. After LOTS of work we have devised a plan to see if I can make it back here to the salt and finish out this week before Roadkill Nights 🙌
