They Closed the Track Early! 🥴 (But look at those VIEWS!) RMRW 1.0 2022 - Video 2

RMRW 1.0 2022 - Video 1

The hardest week ever continued over the next couple days. We started out RMRW 1.0 2022... rocky. Get it?! 😂 But really. On our first drive day (500+ miles) we had a really long day with a couple small problems but ended up really getting to enjoy the pretty mountain views - it's always my favorite part of the week and so special! We got up the next day for Race Day 3 and got all kinds of maintenance done and got the new third member from Quick Performance installed. We thought we were sitting in a good spot. Until we weren't. The end of this video and day was a RUSH. It may not have worked out how we were hoping - but that always makes for the best stories, right?

Alex there is one thing about you that I admire is that you show the good and the bad but what’s especially good about you is that you never stand back but get in there and get your hands dirty. You are definitely not a Prima Donna.

[@64dougee]

ALEX , TO ME THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS! Watching you and your dad work together and seeing how your minds work together and fight it to end was just GOLD!

[@Davidmartinez-zp9wl]

Liked it at 1.35 beginning using leg to jack . Such a badass

[@vladimpaler9274]

[@NUKMProductions]

Your father is an incredible man. The work ethic you two have is amazing. The way you two work together and complete a task show the people you are. My father and I work the same but usually it's him get pissed about something silly then myself having to deal with it. Doesn't seem like your father loses his cool too often.

[@unchained20000000]

Oh everyone losses it sometimes, life is hell no one said you're not going to get burnt here and there in it lol.

[@xcquadrider]

i agree , i really hope they make it to Sick week , i would really like to meet him

[@ark-mark1]

You can remember these days later because you got to spend more time with your dad at these few race weeks than most spend in a lifetime. I mean that old that you can remember it. You have so inspiring family and you are just awesome. All the luck for your coming races ❤

[@robostyle9773]

Watching you & your Dad thrashing together in the pits is awesome. It's what we all aspire to be. Being so organized under pressure like that is amazing. Sorry you guys didn't make it but looks like they changed the curfew on you.

[@RebeldryversGarage]

Your fight and positive attitude through it all is super impressive. Getting punchy from lack of sleep was cute.

[@MrSoupsnake]

Nothing like being delirious and punch-drunk at the end of a long, hellish grind. If every event went perfect, when could you laugh that hard? Can't wait to see how 2023 goes!

[@monroefive-o40]

Don’t forget the thin air at that elevation make those punch drunk moments even more intense. It plays hell on ya especially when your not used to it. 😂

[@johnobrien6052]

I'm having an incredible urge to call Quick Performance and order a set of gears!!! I don't know WHY, but after hearing Dennis mention them, I'm almost obligated!!!

[@mikecolemire3692]

Quick Performance is the best, customer service is better than any body else I've ever dealt with. Great people!.

[@twistedkidmotorsports9093]

That’s because there’s no better builder than Dennis Taylor.

[@brandonf.5868]

Alex your dad is freaking great love all the content and the channel.

[@bigeddaboss773]

Its always a great view when your on camera

[@unchained20000000]

I love dad for putting his whole heart and soul into you Alex. I love you Alex for putting your whole heart and soul into dad. It is beautiful watching father and daughter together making rock solid beautiful memories and thank both of you for having us with you on this journey.

[@wesleybateman5837]

I love the teamwork !

[@markanderhalt1309]

Kick Ass Mechanics, you guys rock

[@angus3139]

love this father daughter team. best wishes to you guys

[@jeffsnyder2051]

i almost choked on my coffee when ALEX was cracking up !!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@user-gc1zn5mn4p]

Alex, entertaining video--and you certainly had the tired funnies. :)

[@Burke_Motorsports]

Wow. Talk about some character building experience's. Cheers ya'll!

[@clydegreenwood5673]

You got to take good and the bad but just remember that you learn something and you make it better and move on and good luck and be safe and have fun and God bless you guys

[@ralphcooley841]

You and your dad are incredible. He is so proud of you. You two work so well together and keep each other up. Looking for a new shop update and I seem to remember something about an SMX motor. I’m sure Steve would love to work with you guys.😊

[@L.A55]

Love watching all ATR content

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@clintonsmith9931]

Daddy is a old grouch Kid is always optimistic That is why she is good at racing

[@jeffpaxton4295]

oh my lord awesome show... killer team work !!!

[@richardoliver1303]

The dance was professional. Your team is professional. It is a pleasure watching a real family race team with DRIVE!!!!!

[@David-dd7qe]

Thank you for sharing! That's family

[@TEAMERICA96]

Simply AMAZING! I don't see Father/Son teams working together with such commitment and enthusiasm. I can't believe how much you get done in such little time. I have to plan for weeks just to do an oil change on my truck. I watched you go through this at the time thru a different lens but this is so much better. Meghan is so great at showing more than you even now about you. We are seeing a Champion in the making.

[@KCadbyRacing]

I started following you (and all of the Race Week races) the year you won 8.50 in Badmaro and IMHO, you Guy/Gals are the best racing family ever ❤

[@jondahl9826]

Thanks for posting what a lot of people experience on drag and drive events so that we may all embrace the suck.

[@donpruett9194]

I want to thank you for the great videos, I really enjoy and appreciate everything you show. You and your family are awesome and a absolute joy to watch. Thanks again.

[@donmears4090]

Having been part of the crew for a race car seeing this brings two thoughts to mind. 1.Are we having fun yet. 2.Laugh and the world laughs with you cry and your eye makeup runs.

[@JohnW1711stock]

Two Lane Blacktop 2023! LOL! Incredible trip. Nice work.

[@Steve-vz3ud]

Nice team work.👍

[@artblackwood7936]

You guys are amazing.

[@cagedruss]

As a father of 2 daughters I really hope you appreciate everything your parents have done for you to get you where you are at. You dad deserves father of the decade. He has given everything for your racing career. I would love to sit down and have a meal and a drink with your parents.

[@chriscatarcio2983]

Your dad's a machine. Man is unstoppable.

[@dakirk1000]

You guys are a great team...your pops is a superstar.

[@Rebar77_real]

Hey camera person her Dad's legs were out too! Don't forget about our Hot Rod lovin' Granny's! (lol) Love how methodical you guys are under stress! That's the amazing part.

[@roncarrigan8258]

Wow what dedication and the emotions you all go through on these drag and drives. I appreciate all the little tid bits of the journey.

[@Welder_Danea]

We couldn’t of asked for a more beautiful day thru the mountains 😊

[@prettyvacant2729]

If it was easy, everyone would do it. You have every right to be proud of this video, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. You can see the stress but you kept focussed. Well done.

[@twistedkidmotorsports9093]

You should do a series where you help first time racers with their build, and make me the first one

[@johnrodriguez473]

As someone who know how to do my own transmissions. 3 things,. 1. Carry a spare transmission, 2 use Teflon rings on the pump, that will pretty much cure your pressure issue on the pump, 3. Put a external tilton oil pump for the transmission that pulls out of the front of the pan to a all-star oil cooler and returns it back to the back of the pan. Have it turn on with engine oil pressure switch so you don't have to remember to turn it on. Use it in conjunction with the normal trans oil cooler

[@ericpierce4173]

An incredible effort by an incredible team. You and your dad are amazing. You both gave it everything you had. And...an incredible video. Thanks for being willing to share the "agony of defeat" and showing pure class when the rug was pulled out from underneath you in the final moments. You didn't cry, you held it together so well, but watching the video, I cried for you.

[@tomscustomshop]

You guys are so calm when working. Ace.

[@KarolMcDonskee]

damn! that's all i have to say... DAMN!

[@amandawoods263]

love to get you drunk at a comedy show it would be a good time 🤣

[@opiealvin]

I hope editing and posting this video acts as a form of therapy for this traumatic experience for Alex and Dennis. Haha. You guys kick ass, no matter what happens.

[@kaskl5403]

Wild ride, lots going on.

[@LesMorrisracing]

Alex I'll watch anything you post and Thank You for your hard work

[@Tx.La-Z-Boy]

go get em !!

[@toddclark332]

It's all for show 🤪👍

[@angelmarti804]

Great team effort and your best videos, too. love your dedication and talent. Bravo.

[@stevesmith9254]

You guys are awesome. Way to give it a try. Keep at it. 🏁

[@EZtheGreat1]

Championship TEAM

[@billkidd5020]

love you people

[@GiletheCarGuy]

You & your Dad make an awesome team! Way to at least try. When you are so tired, you are intoxicated on endorphins, hahaha!

[@ronaldvuckovich6214]

its nice to see how you and your crew handle problems bye not crying and bitching about them just jump in and fix them weather they work or not you guys are unbealivable but there it is on video thats what makes you special to the race world thats somthing we should all learn as a life lesson thanks taylors dont ever let anyone take that away from you

[@jackjr.sparrow3668]

Nice to see the classic still going. Keep it up and good luck

[@michaelcarson6744]

It's time for a Rosslar

[@glennramsey917]

Yall putting some work in on this race !!! I would be so uncomfortable taking the pump out of my trans and being in a hurry … my hats are off to yall .. dads tightening up the pump now i cant wait to see the outcome !!!

[@glennramsey917]

Dang !! Bad luck done gotcha !!!

[@rubinjames3813]

looking forward to the next video

[@russellridge8623]

First with Alex. 😧🤣 You going to make Sick Week in Florida?

[@alvinpowell6189]

So who won? In my book you and your Dad did! You might not have won the week but you won sooo much more by trying! That transmission hustle should be shown in every existing trades class as a masterclass in determination. That was an amazingly daunting task to attempt that late in the day!! And the friends you have to lend you parts and pieces speaks you you and your Dad’s character! Great video, rock on!!

[@larryhall6416]

What a awesome fricken trailer.

[@deancurry8841]

great show . good times. thank you

[@davymurphy3073]

Thanks for keeping it real.

[@Welder_Danea]

I was definitely fan girling in Bandimere on your second pass when they let roadweekers make a pass! That was my first ever pass in my El Co that I bought that I’m starting to build my 9 second car in!

[@Thmper517]

Great memories

[@firepinto]

I can fix most things on a car, but an automatic transmission is pure fkn magic to me. RPM IN > P.F.M. > RPM OUT. Taking on a repair like that, in the dark, in a parking lot, under intense pressure, is huge badassery!

[@Patrick-857]

Yeah. Pure sorcery, I refuse to touch such a thing.

[@keatonrink8446]

Everyone stayed cool, calm, and collected! That is a win in its own! Sucks that you guys didn’t get it in time but, he said it couldn’t be done and I think it could have if the track didn’t give out false information 😢

[@tonypoindexter4272]

YOU AND YOUR DAD IS AMAZING.

[@jimmiev]

Soooo much fun

[@gtuttle4]

Great video!!!

[@nicksutliff5533]

I absolutely love the 55! I started watching your content because of the build. Although I’m not a racer, I am still enjoying the journey. Just curious if you can share the colors used when you painted it up?

[@laurenschenck5355]

I am sorry Alex and sending positive energy for you next race ❤

[@thomaskeene9072]

You guys went right by my house 🏠 I live in Ft. Collins. Co. I wish I would have known I would have treated you to lunch or dinner. Love you guys. T.

[@davestevens4263]

Beautiful scenery in the car & outside, just gorgeous everywhere.

[@laurenschenck5355]

GO ALEX!!!❤

[@fernandoguillen900]

Alex, now we can see clear, the race competition, it`s not just when push the gas on the road; maybe almost 80% of the work, was done by the`magic hands of Dan and team, behind the show; and of course, also you are pilot and mechanical support, added that do you drive a few miles on the same 55, to get back home...💪✌💋

[@jordanjohnson4236]

I feel so sorry for you Alex but that’s the part of racing and I hope one day I can meet you at one of those events

[@barrybarry5803]

15:49 ~ Judging by the angle of Taylor's leg it was certainly a nasty break!!!

[@robertthacker8868]

What is the brand of the trailer you guys are towing behind the 55’? Thanks

[@kennethhill5096]

this girl will be around for a long as nobody straps her but in a rocket car on salt flats view point of MEAN KENNY

[@SnowAndrews]

Guys, that Trailer is pretty danged special.

[@chrisprieur270]

I know that had to of felt like a swift kick in the gut but at least you tried and that's what matters most. Looks like you two don't seem to mentally "spin out" much if any either during the boxing match between human and machine. Gotta love the "tired sillies". Been there more times than I care to admit but the human brain has to cope somehow.

[@ronaldsteveson76]

It's a cool series but just looks like to much work on the road trips. So cool to see when y'all came up through Oklahoma but doesn't everyone has chase vehicle's following their trailers? Don't mean to be negative

[@64dougee]

What I would do on a drag week type race is build me a box on the neck of that trailer that my cooler could fit in and build me a thick ass cooling radiators 1 for coolint and one for trains fluid and stack them one atop of the other with the cooler on top and flat fans between each one blowin down and a battery in the very bottom with a elect. pump for each beside it and flex lines for in and out with quick connect's on them sou could T off the line onthe car to the trunk! That way you could help cool both and keep the fluid and coolent at the top plus hook the battey to the charge points on back and you will have NO POWER PROBLEMS , NO HOT OR LOW FLUID PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANS OR THE ENGINE JUSTHOOK THEM UP AND HAIL ASS TO THE NEXT TRACK UN HOOK AND RACE! SO AM I A DUMASS OR DO YA'LL THINK IT WOULD WORK? I'M ASKING , LET ME KNOW?

[@InnocentMiscreant]

You should be a top runner at sick week turn it up and let the front wheels hang while the bars stay down

[@NBSV1]

Does the 55 have a lockup torque converter?

[@stewcullom5259]

Where are you guys located? And how do you find all those cars I’ll trade you for a drag bike for one stay sweet.

[@andrewwilgus336]

hello Alex you might try lower the rear ratio from 4.11 to a 3.58 to 3.94 with 33" tire 8k trap rpm 1/4 = more MPH and I don't have all specs adj

[@andrewwilgus336]

220 mph ?

[@edwardfast4525]

Alex what transmission are you running?

[@Curtfj]

The lesson here is always listen to your parents, they are always right! lol Sucks they shut it down though

[@johnalbano3rd785]

👍

[@jasonspeeds1]

Getting through that road construction wasn't fun!

[@billkidd5020]

hey from least fav to the best Tom Steve then Dennis
