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 🙌

Speaking with my Cinematographers hat on, yep, Megan's framing of the cameras she's using (looks like a combo of GoPro's, Phones, and at least one DSLR), and the exposure under difficult filming condition - That opening Sunrise is gorgeous!! - All the shots show skill and artistry that any professional camera operator or cinematographer would be proud of. Here's hoping she was able to keep the salt out of the cameras!.

@@michaelhenderson5098 I guess they meet when Alex did her very first Drag Week. Seems Alex gained a lot of long lasting friendships back then, that still today are a big support for her. What Dennis just saw as a chance for some mother and daughter bonding time (he told in an interview), ended being kind of an life changing event for Alex and her family.

I have never watch racing on the salt flats and for some reason it popped up on my page .So I clicked on it and I find out that I may get the chance to watch alex T set a record. I AM AMAZED at how well she is doing. So that being said she now has a new sub this little girl no bigger than a humming bird is handling this car like it was nothing. I think someone is going to have to build her a faster car after all this is over and she sets the new record. This little lady is out to take over the flats. Way to go alex T . I would wish you the best of luck but you don't need it Much love my friend from North Carolina.

Thanks for sharing the videos. I drove through that area in June and saw some random dude take off onto the salt in his Sprinter Van with his family -probably in an ignorant burst of idiocy. I later caught up with him at a rest stop and asked what his top speed was. Salt was still caked to his fender wells. I wasn't quite as adventurous with my rental car. P.S. If you pass through Sedona on your way back home, please consider yourself invited to the restaurant where I work in Tlaquepaque for a meal. The Secret Garden Cafe is open from 8 to 8.
