Episode Notes
From AlexTaylor’s website:
IT ALL STARTED WHEN…
Really, it all started when Alex was just a few weeks old! The whole, “it’s in your blood” thing? Yeah, that applies here! From the time she was just a few weeks old, Alex spent the majority of her time at the shop, especially growing up, as she watched her dad while he worked, and helped when she could!
At the age of 15, Alex and her parents began to build her car and at 16 her and her mom took it on Drag Week 2013, and as they say, the rest is history!! Alex’s passion for the high performance automotive industry continues to grow. Check out the video to the left to get full detailed story on how it all started as well as an update on where everything is at now!
