I Literally BLEW My Doors Off the 55 at 212 MPH 😱 PLUS Austrians Raced in the US for the First Time! 

You're supposed to blow the doors off the competition! Glad you are ok.

Had to buy the shirt to help support Dennis fixing the car in time! Lol

Those door skins will make great wall art in the new shop👌🏼

1. Glad you're good. 2. That was the most incredible pass I've ever seen.

i'm so glad you didn't get hurt. stay safe, alex

What a great family. Here's to the best host ever for Hot Rod Garage.....hands down

That's why NASCAR have these 3 bars behind the windshield. Impressive how it just blown. Minimal damages but a lot of work indeed. Glad you've not got hurt. Good luck for chicago

Glad you are okay, Alex! This is why you ALWAYS put the visor down, even in a door car.

You freaking rock girl, happy you are okay

Alex, I have heard the term I'll blow the doors off for years. This is the first time I have actually seen it happen. So glad that you are safe and sound and could laugh about it in the end. You must have an amazing helmet and I would never get rid of it if I were you.

Scary run. So glad you didn't get hurt. That tee shirt is gonna break records. 😁

Love how David said "I'm just glad that you're not hurt!"

Glad to see your ok, Congrats on the 212 mph. You can repair it I am sure.

OMG....that plexi could have taken your head off at that speed Alex! You're soooooo lucky. Keep on rockin hon!

Awesome! Congratulations!! Just Awesome! 💙❤🐾 Must have been 200 mph plexiglass, 55 needs upgraded too 250mph Lexan? 😇 Riding along with Alex…

LOVE THE CHEAP TRICK SHIRT!!!!!!! WHO EVER HE IS PARTY WITH THAT DUDE!!!!

I'm telling you . . . back in 1969 going down a blacktop road in a '55 at 110 mph with a sweet cammed up 283 was quite a ride. I can only imagine what it feels like at twice that speed. No, I can't imagine. Amazing.

Alex, when you blow both doors and windshields off you are racing your best. :)

Literally literally blew the “Friggin’ Doors” off the 55 and for good measures……the windshield and rear window decide to take a trip of their own…..hellva of way to “212”….. just so your safe Alex…….🤔🤔🤔

That was an incredible pass!! Glad your ok Alex!!

LOL! Leave it to Jim... "Nope! I have no luck!" It's kind of cool to blow your own doors off... as long as you didn't get hurt. It will be an awesome story for years to come.

When you have it back together, I can't help thinking that maybe a trip to a wind tunnel might be a great step. It's never going to be 'aerodynamic' as such, but there may be things you can do with little laminar lips & subtle spoilers you can add to make huge differences to drag at high speeds... & also you might be amazed at the direction & location of aerodynamic pressures & forces when the speed gets way up there. No point beefing something up to stop it getting pushed in or sucked out, if in reality it's the opposite happening...

It could have been so much worse, thankfully you've got lots of seat time in that car and was able to stay calm and shut it down safely. It's a reminder to NEVER be complacent when it comes to racing, at any level, ya just never know what can happen. As much as I like the clean look with no windshield brace it's looking like it might not be a bad idea now that we've seen what pushing the windshield in can do at 210+mph. Anyway, good luck getting the 55 back together and stay safe in the future.

Awesome to have some new Americans/ petrolheads hanging out with y'all and 14's for that car air too bad , hope Tom and his Family enjoy their change in location, and Alex you and your Family Rock 👍God Bless all of you .I would say that getting smacked in the face with a windshield at 212 mph would be quite a surprise , glad your safe and ok , and Tom's car is still pretty quick being in the 13's

so glad you are ok, please check out the braces that nascar uses to kept the windows from coming in. be safe we all love you and your family.

Glad you are ok. It is so awesome to see you taking the 55 to the limit. Keep it up.

Cars can be repaired , glad you are ok

I ordered one of those t-shirts of the blown-out doors! 😀

You guys really need to put them windshield straps in to brace the windshield. Glad your okay, Alex. Sorry Dennis, you have some work ahead of you. Can't wait to see the car go 1 teens. 🤙🤪🤙

that was an exciting moment for sure. and "Servus" to Tom and Karina from a german who made the move to Georgia 25 years ago.

Happy you're ok. The car can be repaired. That was an awesome pass and I just ordered the new shirt.

Glad you are ok ! Make it better and stronger. congratulations on the time too.

A Lot of the old Hot Rodders would add Air Vents in the Fenders in the old days.1957 chevy Bel Air is one of my favorite Models.

"Way to look at it glass half full" Alex: "it is half full" Hilarious! Very witty Alex. So happy you werent hurt and now you have an awesome story forever!

Loving following your adventures! Spent a lot of time the staring line at Sacramento with Bunker and Riolo during the shoebox wars in the 80s! Keep up the great work!

The laughter of glee on your face when the Savoy first fired up was priceless!

I'm glad your okay. I literally bought the t-shirt before the video was over. 🙂

i love it you were rocking it i so enjoy watching your videos keep on getting it glad you were ok and fast.

Glad you are ok thank God I know your dad will fix it for sure good luck

Unbelievable, you drove both doors away from yourself. Congratulations on the great times.

Thankful you weren't seriously hurt. A lot of things could have happened. Praying for safety for you all.

Hello Australian and some German👍🏻🏁 yall did great 🇺🇸

In NHRA Stock that 4-door Impala was available with a Police 350. That combination falls in P/SA and would be capable of running about 1.3 seconds under the index! LOL! Nice car. The proper safety equipment and Alex's driving ability saved her and the car from further damage. That could have gone really bad.

This is why Chevy made the 210 and not the 212... Handled it like a boss! Good on you and your team.

Very Lucky that did not turn out worse. Good job of staying calm and driving the car to a stop. Thinking there will be some windshield braces installed soon.

Good thing you didn’t drive it to the track! Glad things worked out regarding testing. Looking forward to Chicago!

You can never have enough Mika content!!!!!!!

your scaring the shit out of me with the speed man,,,jesus,,,,150 is NUTS

Wow I have never seen anything like that before at the strip. I'm certainly glad you didn't get hurt. But 212 is not bad

Cool video most wildest run I’ve ever seen in a while. 212.45 mph. Good job 👍.

Glad you're okay and don't get hurt.

One thing I will say young lady, when it comes to racing....you don't f#@k around at all. I know grown men who would be like...yep I'm out and then have the biggest cry about what happened. The only reason your down is you wanted to do so much more before going home! That takes guts! I am just glad you're ok and get a cool story to tell others. And don't be hard on your sister, $100 says nobody could have called that and it does make a cool shirt!! Hey Meg, us Aussies always say, better looking at it than for it! On the up side, you just installed the period correct factory air....lol Dennis, 1000 mph tape will fix it all mate....

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Wait that's not right. Haha. Good job Tom. Alex is always trying to blow someones doors off, who thought she'd succeed at doing it to herself. That's an accomplishment.

Alex, I hate to say it by having rubbered in glass you'll get that window blowing out all the time or get the screen shaped/ moulded with a good outer curve in it as the stop it blowing and doing what it did. We used to make windscreen glass moulds with a good 8mm/5/16 of outer curve in it as at 100klm/h the glass would flatten out. That's with a normal thickness windscreen thickness not the plastic type thickness. I think you'll have to look at either bolting in the windscreen or installing some window deflection bars to stop the screens flattening in under wind force. Then you'll keep the doors on the lady. Just a bit of FYI. Anyway onwards and upwards, 250mph, here you come!!!!!

Good driving , glad your ok. If you need any trim pieces , the Suttons probably have it here in st.louis

All I can say is.... Dang! Glad you're ok!!

What's happening with everyone blowing doors off lol 😆 😅 Glad your ok hun. And love how you just laugh it off like it was nothing serious 😅. Congrats on the speed to ❤

The important thing is you're OK. The 55 can be fixed, Dennis can fix anything! Was going to order a shirt, but $83 shipping to the United Kingdom scared me off.

Very happy that you weren't hurt! Very professional attitude after getting the car stopped and the damage examined. I laughed out loud at "I guess we're done, for this day". One mark of a pro driver is the ability to maintain focus and control when everything around you goes to hell. Nice job there Alex. I wish I could come and give Dennis a hand, there's a lot of work to do in less than two weeks. I bought the shirt, to support you as best I can! Good luck with the repairs, and in Chicago.

Wow, glad you're okay! That was exciting...

Glad you're ok, it could've been bad. Congratulations on your PB

That’s pretty fast but we are glad you didn’t get hurt❤

After watching your pass I pulled the fiberglass doors on my blown 34 Chop top and checked them and ended up having to re-bond both door skins. Thank you for helping me avoid disaster!!!!!!!

Simply Awesome.... Go Alex!!

Everyone is talking about this craziness. Good luck Taylor crew. Gonna be some work to get to Chicago!

Awesome, trekking through the woods with you Leo!!

I have never been more excited to order a t-shirt!

Dang, that was crazy! Glad you’re ok 👍

Time for a center brace on wind shield

Im SO happy for Tom, while its not a nas, or carlo, he got in the 14s on his first try. So happy for him. My first trip down the quarter mile was 42 seconds, the carb flooded & killed the engine at about 60 foot. I was furiously trying to start the engine, because no way i was gonna have my first run ending being towed.

Alex, I wish I could have met a woman like you. You're a great attribute to the sport. I'm glad you're safe and able to have a laugh about it

Glad you are well. Tyvm for everything

Wow ! that is quite a video all around. Nice to see the Austrians going to the strip for the first time. Alex you are fortunate you are ok, but that 55 is getting faster all the time ( more windshield bracing required. ) I hope you can make it to Chicago , it should be epic. many thanks.

Sucks that happened but damn that was impressive how it all escalated. Glad you're OK knowing how bad that could have been if you woulda lost it at the end.

The car got lighter as it went down the track! Thats why it was so fast! Lol! Im super glad your ok ; kiddo!

I’m like a magnet to women who can talk hp and cars, not being a blonde is just icing on the cake also. Keep it up and we will keep watching!

Great job driving so glad you didn't panic when that windshield came in on you. Awesome pass.

That shirt is wicked! Great job meg!

love seeing yall out at my home track!

glad you're ok but THAT WAS AWESOME ‼️

Man! Love you guys. Hope to see you in Chicago

"I guess we're done....for the day?"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Wow, good on ya, rebuild and this time blow the competitions doors off! BTW, if you want to keep your windshields intact, turn down the stereo!😉😁
