The Ford Barn

Starting at 4:45, Alex Taylor, a drag-n-drive driver, who's at Bonneville in a borrowed car, gets some screen time with Ron Jr. and Ronnie Roadster & other family while waiting for the flats to be raceable. Some Flathead talk while looking over XF/BGRMR 8150.

Overheard at 5:30: "We can show you a real flathead, none of that H&H crap you got."

When not at the track Alex with their dad and others is also into a project to recreate Ed Iskenderian's ultra-massaged roadster that's in the Speedway museum.

Her drag-n-drive car is a 55 bowtie, sigh..., and in this slightly sad video she actually blew her own doors off while making a 6.92/212.45 pass in testing, jump to about the 20 minute mark. https://youtu.be/OV7dX1RArEA

Shoutout for help from other members: Somewhere in the 'Barn's attic there's a link to this car going 200+.
