We Broke The Drive Shaft 😳 - Sick Week 2024 Day 4

[@chrismathews4478]

You are so blessed to have such an involved father. Much respect to Dennis and Alex.

[@lpe655]

The whole family. Her mom is ride or die. And her sister is her filmer!

[@bhlom4135]

Gotta give Kudos & high 5's to Nikki Booby to for that killer seek & destroy style drive shaft recovery too! The whole group is awesome💯

[@fred7854]

Chris, I would love to see Alex's father get his Nova back on the track. It would be cool to see dad against daughter. I'm sure he misses it a little.

[@chopper1168]

It’s amazing in itself to have a kid that wants to do more than sit on there ass all day playing video games

[@TheSkydiverphoenix]

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. :)

[@848evo4]

she's a real bad ass

[@russellridge8623]

Line of the week. “ You drove it like a girl and broke it!” 😂👍🤣

[@crankyoldman860]

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!

[@tomsmithnosky3408]

people who have never drag raced ,really dont know how much everyone in the pits pull together to help each other . and had it been within the rules there would have 5 guys under the car helping.

[@JohnnyOla511]

It's not just drag racing, my friend. It's the car community in general.

[@adambowers496]

It's just like the off road race community with dirt bikes and quads or any off road racing! people are the same way we help each other all the time! racing in general is great !

[@drscottbecker3615]

💯

[@RandDCustoms2]

Alex knows that 55 so well she can feel a problem coming on before it happens. She would have made a great fighter pilot. What a team with Dennis and Alex.

[@stephcooper5998]

Father, daughter wrenching, pulling off that drive shaft(s) replacement with a few minutes to spare was amazing. Alex getting down the track after all the drama shows girl power is alive and very well. Stay pretty!

[@johnjunge6989]

Dennis, you and Alex make one hell of a pair. Feel sorry for Lutz and Steve, such bad luck. But the way you two analyze issues and make things work is fantastic! As an old racer from the 60's, we only had the plug color to go by and the seat of our pants! Great stuff!!!! 😊

[@RickyRicicar]

I have never built a driveline that fast before when Nick told us you was on a time crunch I had to try and get it done as fast as possible

[@ahousez28]

That's awesome you did that for her. Thank you, sir!

[@RickyRicicar]

@@ahousez28 I just hope that the driveline will take her the distance

[@CS_247]

You rock, my man...

[@RickyRicicar]

@CS_247 thanks I tried my best to help her out of a tight spot

[@RustyWells2]

I've never seen so many badasses in one place in my life! All of you drag and drive racers are some of the best drag racers in the world and have all my respect!

[@SteveMacdaddy]

Seeing Alex receive that drive shaft over the fence and running across the parking lot gave me tears of joy. Lol

[@Greg-fc3pw]

Greatest thing ever watching the driveshaft handoff.😂

[@LonnySelf]

only 1 word to describe the drivline moment! Determination

[@RR-iv6fm]

And just when it appears you, “ got the shaft,” you actually did! Great team effort, rooting for ya!!

[@alfredjohnson2191]

Peddling to 7.1 after all that was impressive. Good job guys.

[@anthonyjones657]

Dennis is an awesome dad, but Alex’s drive is crazy and the ability to make a decent pass out of that situation especially with the pedaling.

[@patbullard9276]

I have never seen a young lady driver that hands on and involved with fixing, maintaining and troubleshooting her car. She is truly one with her car. Amazing!

[@lonnieciallela1526]

This is whats great about motorsports

[@wimvandesteeg1353]

this girl is a warrior, and dad is her general, so cool!!

[@TheGlenn350]

Wow, you guys are awesome! Thanks also to Meg for a great job of recording all of the activities for content for us KZbin watchers who enjoy your videos each day!!!!

[@BryanWaldo]

Videos like these should be shown to every young girl who doesn’t do what she wants because it’s a ‘boys activity’. Alex is a tremendous roll model. She drives the wheels off the car, she wrenchs, diagnosis, and data analysis. A very impressive person.

[@cptkirkp]

FYI the rental car tops out at 150mph. Good work Nick.

[@curtisanselmo2599]

This is the best sick week series of 24, the Alex and Dennis Taylor Duo is the dream team. The passion, drive and all out thrash to get the drive shaft back in the car, dam. The guys hauling ass to get the driveshaft back to track made it happen and Alex lays down a solid run to stay competitive. Killer video, Taylor’s never say die… 🤟

[@haawyan9972]

Alex…..The son that any Dad would be proud of and Dennis….Dad of the Year! The whole family exemplifies togetherness! You are all awesome,an inspiration to many!

[@usmclee65]

Alex and family WHAT A TEAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dunch1988]

I'm sitting here on a Friday evening watching the trials and tribulations you're going through on Sick week, and I had a flashback to when Alex 1st showed us the rusty shell of this car. I waited every week to watch the build from start to finish! I thought I'd miss seeing you race Badmaro but I'm loving this car! Keep it up guys!!

[@davejennings5140]

Hardcore, badass, never-say-die, no whining just get it done, always thinking, always learning, always got time for the kids, seriously dedicated friends and family. Will always be back for more of that. Go hard ATR.

[@adventuresinmusic2487]

Crunch time! What a team. And, a big shout out to Nicky Bobby for coming thru.

[@stevekaluf2708]

Nothing but respect and admiration for you two. This has been the best series of Sick Week videos ever done. Thank you all for bringing us along for the ride.

[@paulstallings6910]

Dennis pushing his hair back in a rare selfie. Funny. Alex comments “ what a girl” Priceless!

[@kh40yr]

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!

[@54raceman]

Atleast it was a carbon shaft because with a metal shaft instead of having rehab she wouldn’t have ankles to rehab

[@rstevens4824]

I can't say enough about how you and your dad work together and that whole Community comes together to try to help each other I mean the one guy gave you his drive shaft even though it was too short the problems you had with the injectors somebody had injectors it's just great to see everybody trying to help each other it's just great sportsmanship and great entertainment as usual

[@jeffwaldrop6005]

Alex you are such a badass and the relationship with your dad is so amazing. Dennis has done an amazing job teaching you and being just being a great dad.

[@hardknox1917]

Alex I appreciate you editing and uploading during sick week , I have complained in the past when you didn’t so now I’m showing you my appreciation for grinding out the edits

[@paulstallings6910]

Megan Taylor you are a superstar! Your hard work has really brought the channel to the next level. Thank you for all the hard work bringing us amazing content.

[@bunbunben3]

When you are needing to work under the car on pavement, have some large pieces of foldable cardboard sheets. It makes it easy to move around, can be used on hot surfaces and stores easily. Great videos and best of luck!

[@jaimereyes7480]

I'm surprised they don't have some sort of mat they park on

[@duanemcmanus5116]

I love Alex and Dennis they have a never quit attitude.......I think it was last years or year before sick week they had the engine apart replacing pistons.

[@dalemam7962]

Alex is so Tuned In to how the 55 runs and when something doesn't feel right. She is a natural when it comes to this. When it comes time to wrench on the car she is right under there doing whatever is required.

[@toddmatson4179]

Looks like you had your hands full on that last pass...Much respect to you and your father

[@paulzale7429]

That was Fantastic and Thrilling! Damage and the Time Crunch! Perseverance = Triumph! Congratulations! Cheers from Wisconsin!

[@dalebelseth3058]

What a Driver!!!! What a WRENCH!!!!

[@jamiefekete4566]

That’s crazy handing the driveshaft over the fence job well done guys love the videos keep up the good work

[@michaelhenderson5098]

Yep, running across the parking lot with it in her arms. Simply awesome determination. Great job everyone.

[@jeffreywilliams8927]

I absolutely love when Megan jabs at Alex!!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

0:07 Damn, I'd be rubbing my head for a while. That was a powerful launch on your first pass. It hooked up really hard.

[@PhiddyPford]

Shoutout to Debi for making both of them great ❤ Mom Rules!!

[@martincenterwall4329]

❤ Djungelvrål (Jungle Scream) it’s the best 🙊 Good Job guys, Thanks from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@billpace3489]

Mr. Dennis, you did a hell of a job getting that car back together with her. You guys have kicked ass.

[@billcornwall5696]

I love the never say die attitude y’all have!!

[@woods-garage]

The pedaling on that last run was outstanding! To get a low 7 with the back end all over the place was an amazing driving job.

[@robertschneider1799]

Sweet dear lady I was glad you made that last pass dear Alex hurry up this way you can keep on drag racing during this week congrats Alex did you guys pulled it off I love you all a huge fan have a blessed day and a blessed rest of the week ❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@PUBG..TICKLER]

awesome teamwork there though give your dad a massive hug he's the best . praying for you all the best

[@JSCB-365]

Best footage ever, grabbing the driveshaft over the fence to get it in the car in time before they close the track!!

[@winkletown8828]

I was following your journey at sick week as much as I could. I just found you have a channel 👍👍👏👏💪💪 You and your team are awesome. What a car!! ❤

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

Mad respect for you and Dennis, Alex. Quite a team you have, great support. Looking forward to the day 5 video.

[@somtronblair5189]

You two are amazing.

[@SaddleLight]

Most suspenseful sick week vid I’ve seen yet. Way to stick with it!

[@mattlee576]

I love the way the ATR work together and I can’t believe how the Old Man keeps his cool Hat off to you both I love watching your team win lose or draw keep it up All the way from OZ

[@michaelhattingh285]

You and your team is a true example of not giving up.

[@72plyduster1]

From a fellow drag racer, I can count on one hand the amount of times I I did not have a problem at the track! Great job!

[@J_Alrighty]

Great job everyone and I love to see that father daughter cooperation!

[@jerryfrederick6610]

Now that was a thrash. Shout out to the driveshaft shop. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Tommy-Tucker]

To be so young Alex is incredibly smart when it comes to her drag racing ,engine tuning. You go Alex, kick some a..!!!

[@calewarner06]

Dang watching this, 15 minuets until shutdown. Take your time you got 12 minutes oh man I love it. Plus being next to Jeff Lutz super cool

[@michaelgallopo5879]

The angels were looking out for you and your family you all did an amazing job...keep living the dream ✨️

[@bracketengineer]

It’s a special relationship you guys have developed. Having a 9 year old daughter I wish we can connect in a way you and your father has. Keep this train going!

[@D1aNdOnLyNiCkx3]

The relationship you guys have words can't describe always put a smile on my face

[@laurenschenck5355]

I am cheering for you! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@grandpag9974]

Yet another most excellent and awesome video!

[@budgina]

Great job Alex! I'm rooting for you!

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

You're awesome Alex and dad 😊 So glad you were able to make that 7.14 Haven't seen any results from today yet I hope you did well. god bless Alex and pops and have a safe trip home I hope you won something ❤😊

[@davsmth41]

Don’t know if someone might have said this already lol. But a quick trick to get rid of fiberglass fibers….. wipe your hands and arms or whatever with Elmer’s glue like your putting on lotion. Let it dry, peel it off and it will grab most if not all the fiberglass fibers. Doesn’t have to be thick :)

[@Lost-xl6im]

I love that Alex crawls underneath with a wrench and knows immediately what to do

[@williamhayter2998]

I love it when a plan comes together !! Great team work!

[@westmus]

Megan are doing a great work, trying to be all the right places and the right moment wtih her camera. A one man army with no script to follow, it's all improvised. She good at also capturing people emotions, making the videos feel very real. 👍👍

[@elwoodroadsmusic9639]

I got a little emotional when she whipped out that last pass. What a team congratulations.

[@KSwapTheWorld69]

It was INCREDIBLE to find someone to make a drive shaft and even more having the guy run 100+ the whole way, you've got a good crew! I'm rooting for you Today!😁

[@54raceman]

One thing about nick he’s determined and if he says he’s gonna do something he’s damn well gonna do it

[@OGTtom]

The never quit attitude is evident , getting the job done , awesome .

[@raho24781]

GRRReeeeaaaaAAAAT !!!!!! show you guys WoWZzzzzerrrzzzzssss that car is sooo oN HiT !!! car sounds like a Dream of THEEE BiG Block made in HeaveN

[@DannyNeal-g8y]

That's what happens when everyone refuses to give up! Great team, great recovery, great race, great show!

[@UltimateTurbo214]

Alex and her Dad are Straight Savages! 💪😎🇺🇲

[@dennykatz157]

Love your channel Alex! Intro to this video is hilarious! Doing girlie things by trimming your nail or cuticle because it hurts and then doing a guy thing by slamming the door on your head and having two things that hurt, IS KILLER!🤣🤣

[@NorthernHDrider]

"Alix" , your an amazing driver. Your "DAD" is the heart to every human. NHRA Crew undercover 😉

[@jimzivny1554]

You can't buy the knowledge and experience your dad has and you're gaining. Love watching your videos and I've gotten lots of compliments on you and your dad's old school tee shirts. I'll meet you someday

[@modified15r]

Alex showing impressive skills behind the wheel. Cool calm and collective. So many drivers get behind the wheel and go into La La land when they flip the ignition switch.

[@martinwink2063]

I've been there many times, so satisfying when you can get it together

[@jrlittle2]

Dennis Taylor is a machine!!! Glad to see you both managing the stress and still running so well.

[@simplysimon9868]

You guys seriously rock!!! Alex and DT are just an awesome duo!! Big shout to Megan for filming the shenanigans 😁👍

[@njclsx4252]

Only watch because of Dennis, what a great example of a dad he is

[@_outdoorjunkie_1843]

Dennis is so awesome . You guys together make a killer crew

[@mannmadesbc]

Y'all are freaking awesome!!!!!!! Always enjoy the content.

[@WhiteKnight5775]

It ain't over until it 's over. That drive shaft shop I think needs a shout out. KEEP GOING!!!!!!!!!

[@jerrycoon3369]

On the bright side, at least it was non destructive breakage. I trailered my chevelle 3 hrs. to the track, broke the driveshaft and trailered it 3 hrs. back home so I could order a new shaft. Thats racin' for ya!

[@chriswheeler4255]

I watch these with my daughter and I am so proud of your no quit attitude. Your and your family are awesome .

[@laurenschenck5355]

YOUR THE BEST PERSON! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

[@zjorvis95]

New Subscriber! Found you from 1320Video coverage. One of my long time friends, Sonny, is the branch manager at the FleetPride there in Valdosta! He said he was glad he could get y'all back up and going. Awesome content by the way!

[@charliemcafee1446]

Thats some BADASS TEAMWORK!! GREAT JOB!!

[@byrondaniel4410]

Alex sparrow running with the driveshaft

[@KSIXRIDER]

Now that was showing some real GRIT!!!!

[@craigr13666]

Loving your coverage of this event. I've seen a couple other channels coverage of it, but I just couldn't sit through their whole thing. I like the pace here, great coverage of everythingaround, an excellent mix of different music. Definitely an event I'd love to attend some day.

[@WinnfieldCustoms]

yall have the best family
