This day was a roller coaster to say the least! On pass one we thought water got under the tire so I lifted. Went up for pass 2 against Jeff Lutz and spun the yoke in the burn out box😅 Turns out that is actually what had broke on the first pass but had just enough in it for me to drive back!
We thought we were out but thankfully we were able to get a new drive shaft made and to the track, into the car and in the lanes with 4 minutes to spare before lanes closed! 🙌

Watching Alex work with her father reminds everyone that she isn't just the cute girl that drives the car. She also gets down and dirty doing the repairs on it with her dad. I really love the videos she releases. I could watch Alex Taylor videos for hours. They never are boring. Secondly any girl that works on her manicure with a pair of wire cutters is a winner in my book. :)

Gotta say, the best Sick Week video so far. To all the keyboard mechanics that had a problem with you replacing Tony on HRG, they should watch you and your Dad go after that driveshaft. It looked like a trauma surgery team the way you each knew what the other was going to do on each step. And a big round of applause for Megan's camera work, especially under the '55. And a big shout to Nick for throwing his muscle around and gettin' the job DONE!

Sketchy!. Years back a Pro Mod gal had her ankle's battered by a broke CF shaft that snapped inbetween the loops and made it's way inside.. It was fugly. Rehab involved. Make sure they use .080 SS sheet for your tunnel along with the loops, because walking is nice. Take care Dear, Keep it in between the Mustard and the Mayo!!. Get Em Alex!

First video I’ve seen of your channel after seeing you in another channels vid. I just had to say it was an excellent video, and the driver has a great personality and is a hell of a driver. Very impressive. But what struck me more than anything is how committed and even tempered the dad is. A great guy, even tempered under great pressure, a great attitude and very skilled. I’d be rattled and stressed to death were I in his shoes, yet even in that heat, he just got it done without a trace of frustration. I can tell he’s been through this before and knows well how something always goes wrong. He just figures it out and does what it takes. With seconds to spare an 1000 things aside from the driveshaft to check he calmly goes through the last minute safety checklist and stands back w total confidence in his girl. Must have his heart in his throat every run. The scene of that cool handoff of the driveshaft over the fence was the best! Very cool someone thought to arrange to hand it off that way to save time. Talk about under the gun. And the Yoohoo! Running in fire suit. 🥰 And love how when in the car, the helmet highlights her beautiful eyes. Bad ass!

Dennis, I understand the injector issues, My class car is old style 84' TBI fuel injection technology w/ a single injector (so if I have issues there it is over), it means a replace immediately and it also has aa input line, top hat followed by injector then the regulator and return creating and controlling the final input pressure the injector receives top of the TBI throttle body, pump and 3 filters. A pre-filter, a post filter, and the stock canister filter. Anytime adding new fuel, or doing any work concerning fuel line disconnecting or filter replaces, always turn on the pump for a few minutes to circulate the fuel through the lines (engine off), so any trash in the lines at all goes right by in the fuel rail, back to the cell, then again a couple of times through the filters...it just keeps it from getting into the injectors. That start up right after fueling or fuel system repairs without that step of long circulation is the hard time.
