​@Robert.Isaac.Cunningham non cltuch assisted gear box you use the clutch to take off but after that you can just pull it to each gear without clutching. But those types of gearboxes the only thing holding it in each gear is you staying under power the instant you let off they will usually jump outta gear to neutral thus why they are best for racing only

@massege.profile No way. You said I was the lucky winner.☹️

Fantastic! I'm 57 years old and grew up watching Wide World of Sports. That was my introduction to the The Salt Flats. I have to say, I started tearing up when they closed the door and the look on your face! I lost control of my emotions when you did at the end of the run!! Thank you so very much for taking us all along with you!!! Peace and love to you all!!

Right there with you !

Way to go Alex... always so professional in your approach, asking questions, double checking, going through the motions in your mind... a great example of how to do it right. As I watched you prepare on the start line, making sure you were ready... understanding the nerves that you were feeling right then and how well you handled them... and knowing how big a deal it is to run on the salt, I actually got emotional. And of course, nice driving as always! Nice crisp shifts too. Proud of you Alex! I wish I could have been there this year to watch you run. LSR can be addicting... I can see Dennis building a whole different kind of car for you...

WOW WOW WOW, Girl you have no idea how this was emotional for everybody watching. Couples of videos building up the suspense right until 29:43 when you untied yourself and let all that pressure out, Well guess what? We felt it, we also let the pressure out too with you! Great job to your sis for the video. I was not a fan of Bonneville racing, watched it a few times and in my trucking life, I even passed by the area. But you made us discover another world of racing and it's addictive. What a fascinating world, Those guys are super professionals and I can't wait until you proudly get into that 200 mile select club" Stay fast, stay pretty

Great job Alex. Land speed racing is an amazing feat. The view of a car pulling away from the push truck is always an iconic image

Congratulations Dennis and Debbie. You 2 raised 2 very amazing young ladies. Congratulations Alex. Another check in your motor sports bucket list. Megan, amazing job with job on the camera and editing. Nick, great job. In everything you do to support alex. You all make an amazing team. Congratulations to everyone involved and thank you for keeping everything safe and fun.

I'm so proud of you on this adventure. Handled it like a pro. When you came to a stop and the look in your eyes I teared up so happy for you. YOU GO GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Alex. One handed driving. No problem. I have to admit, my heart was pumping hoping everything would turn out alright. Thanks, Megan, for the great video coverage and quick post. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Congrats!!! We're all riding with you. 👍👍👍

This is a great behind-the-scenes view of what goes into a run. It looks like the staff/volunteers do a great job with their support. Great job all around!

I speak for every dad who follows you when I say, "I'm proud of you!" You are awesome!! 🎉

Congratulations Alex on your first salt pass. And thank you meg for the daily Vids you are a star. It allows us to be invested in the event. Well done to mom and dad too,

Meg is Megnificent for getting all these videos out. Great job, I know it's a ton of work.

I've never enjoyed Speedweek as much as this year through yor videos. Congrats!! Thanks to Meg fro geting them edited and out to us so quickly.

Awesome is not a big enough word!!! Very Talented!! Thanks to Meg for capturing!!!

Wow Loved it! Drag racer from the very old days. I'm 78 years old and always wanted to do the flats but never did. But riding with you I feel like have now. Thank You Alex! You and your team were great!

What a lucky girl to have the life you have. You've earned every bit of it. Been following you ever since 2015 at Cordova Hot Rod Drag Week. Filmed you and your dad there and I'll never forget it. Congrats!👏

So awesome to see keith there with you every step of the way he's such a awesome guy ur lucky to have someone like him there to support you

Even a helmet can't hide that smile!!!

Nothing better than watching generations of motorheads coming together as a team / families . Thank you for posting all the great videos on your KZread channel. Being able to keep the equipment operating in the salt has to be a challenging Job. Big congratulations !!!

Congratulations Alex. Well done! and Thanks Meg for all the footage. You are a professional.

Making Gen2 Camaro owners proud!

That was incredibly thoughtful to leave you alone for a few minutes to really appreciate the moment.

It has been great watching you expanding your driving skills. You have approached it with your ears, eyes and mind open as anyone should. Be proud of you and your accomplishments because you should be. Thanks for taking us for the ride Alex!

So excited for you and the team. Looking forward to the next notch up.

I have been there and done it three times, I cried when she came out of the car and said "I did it", I know the feeling....it NEVER goes away!!!!! You know have "Salt Fever"!!!!!!

Nothing says “I’m chill and about to go 150” than eating a Sponge Bob frozen treat!

I believe David, F. is a huge Flats timing guy. Pony up some build money David? Heck, build ATR and Hot Rod Mag car and have a world's first Flats longest drag race. Alex vs. David.

Alex Taylor is a certified Bad A$$!!! I am so inspired by her. I am so happy for her. Go Alex, Go!

Heck yeah! Also thanks to Megan for a particularly great video. Thanks for just letting footage roll in the edit, so we got the full conversations, really felt like being there.

Good for you Alex, goose bumps just watching you get ready to go...i have been 233mph and over 200 many times at Bonneville...really enjoy your sharing with us...Plan to be there next year as long as our engine program comes together...Cheers

That is so freaking cool. I'm a drag racing fan but land speed racing is something I have always been interested in. My occupation has been in automotive machine work and I know that making a engine survive for a run that long is a testament to a very good engine builder. Anyway congratulations and this is so awesome.

Awesome job made me tear up! Great job Alex!!!❤

Love the way all the men took Alex under their wings. Inspiring.

What's this water from my eyes? We met once, so I can be proud of you, right? Great job!!!! So happy for you, and thank you for taking us along for the ride!!!

That was awesome, can't wait for the next run! You're reaction was so amazing.

At 25:00 the motor turning with the short cluttering sounds SSOO tight! Great video.

Thanks for taking us along for the ride Alex. Anxiously awaiting the next level

Congratulations Alex and thank you for showing us what it's like to be fast

Salty Gal ! Congratulations!

Don't know about ya'll but that was intense just watching and feeling the anticipation. Way to go Alex, awesome job. Awesome videography as well.

How awesome was that! So happy for you!❤️ Thank you for bringing all of along thru this journey! Mad respect for all the safety checks, drivers meeting talk, and everybody that worked on the car for you to have a successful run! What a fantastic group of people! Thank all of you!💯

Keith Turk is phenomenal.... Way to Go Alex and team

What a great moment you will remember forever 😊

Newbs to the side door! Fun out the back all day long!

Welcome to the club! There's no cure for salt fever. I'm happy your rookie run went well. It was great to hear Lee Kennedy in the background! You will never meet a more amazing group of people. Watching your video made the feeling of my rookie run, and the first of several records, seem like they were this morning. I have so many happy memories of Bonneville, El Mirage, and Muroc. You will carry this experience close to your heart for the rest of your life!

So Awesome, Go Fast ……great job,Alex! I’m not crying your crying,so happy.

I keep up with you & your Dad's video's I have knew Stevie Fast Jackson for along time & Lyle Barnett always been into hot rods and racing also like drag-n-drive events.

What an excellent human being you are Alex, and people are drawn to you because of the fact!!!

My excitement went thru the roof when you started the car while strapped in. You are one baadss beautiful woman. Hell yeah!🤘🤘🤘

Never heard that in racing before, "Stick my ears back" 😂 Congrats and well done, awesome day!

This maked me SMILING Big Time !! What A Milstone you acomplitch GO Girl // Hugs from Sweden.

For Meg - GREAT WORK!! These videos are looking awesome, worth all the hours of work you put in.

I came to another land looking for the land speed record from my childhood and what do I find you doing something else amazing.

Alex, so cool. I built a car in 2010 and ran at Speedweek 2011. Did not set a record in D/CGALT but was able to make some runs over 200! It was a 42 year old dream. Now you get it! Two kinds of people in this world...those that have raced at Bonneville and those that have not! Very special place for however long we can still race there. Now make plans to go back and up that License to an "A" or "AA". Keith and Tonya are the best. You had great support.

Awesome Alex!! I was there is 1976 with my fully built Datsun 260z & i did 165 MPH. This was my daily driver car.

I first watched a 16yo Alex Taylor when she was drag racing. Congratulations, well deserved.👍.

It's so beautiful out there. The sky colours against the white .......I'm forever telling ppl to watch your channel - just magic!

The nervous/humble energy leading into the realization/excitement is intoxicating. I felt it right with you. Legit inspirational. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Literally brought me to tears when you finished the run. I'm so stoked for you. Thank you for the extra hard work put in to bring us along with. Your amazing

Alex, You are one BAD ASS CHICK ! Excellent Job!

YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR ALEX!! 😊

Man i was so nervous for you and then when you did it i was so happy watching here in New Zealand at 11.00pm

The process of pleasing the inspectors is more nerve wracking than the actual run .

The salt is like nothing else. I watched this whole video with a giant smile on my face. Thanks for taking us along and I can't wait to see you continue your land speed journey.

Great job everybody. The smile at the end of the run said it all.

congrats. as a poor 17 year olds me and a friend put some of them hub caps on his lowrider mini truck in 1986 cause they was cheaper than rims lol but gave a new look to lowrider scene in town lol

Congratulations on your first run on the salt 🎉😊

Alex, you are one very lucky girl to have the opportunities you have. I’m so proud of you and your achievements so far and I know that you will now really make your presence felt on the salt. I’ve been following you since the start of the ‘55 build and you are amazing. I have two daughters that I would have loved to do what you have done, but finances precluded any chance, so I now follow you. Keep achieving, and thank your amazing Dad and gorgeous Mom for all they have done to make things possible for you. I look forward to seeing your first speed record being made.

That was totally absolutely fabulous awesome!!!!!!!!!

I love the joy you could see in her eyes as she started to decelerate towards the end! Awesome job @alextsylorracing!!🎉

I think Meg needs a raise for being designated ear positioner. Lol

Congratulations Alex awesome experience for you. Megan, Thank you for doing what you are doing. You have done a fantastic job capturing and showing this emotional journey.

Great job Rook. 3rd gear, you finally passed Lee Kennedy. We love Lee. Lee has beer !! At the end of the day.
