Autocrossed the Buick today!

[DarkBuddha]

Awesome! But WTF?!?!!! For two years I invited people here to come to BSCC events but NOOOOO... no one ever showed. Aaarrrggghhhh! I would've loved to be there, but alas I'm in Florida now.

BTW, there are several PT type cars that get out there, including another '67 Mustang and my personal favorite, a 2nd gen f-body:

Any info on this car? What suspension setup and how did it run? What wheels are those?

Sorry Wyatt! If I had the Buick back then, I would have joined you for sure! I should have been auto-xing my daily driver all along but alas, you're in FL now. Sorry I missed you. I ran last week at the Shelton Airport and going back to Bremerton in 2 weeks. Who's in?

I love the look of that car. Always wanted to try a little autocross.

Do it but beware there aren't 12 step programs for it!

You should check out this thread you might be interested since your driving a Buick, and have been auto crossing it.

Gotta hand it to you for using a pro[touring car for what it was built for. FUN.

Bonus points for being a Buick

After finally getting to catch a GoodGuys Autocross event I've got to say it's already got me wanting to join the others in the fun. Not to mention getting to ride in the DSE Test Car and helping Ryan post the fastest track time that morning helped a boat load too. Man, it's a whole different ball game being inside the car and feeling it sling around the turns. They have this years track set up very tight and twisty.

Jay the Buick looks great. I am sure you had a blast.

Yup...I popped my corner carving cherry this weekend too. Even with a 12:1 box I found out the steering wheel is huge in the Olds.

I saw you out there. Heard you tell one the guys you were back for more abuse. Haha. I turned to look for my dad and grab my camera and you were gone. I waited somewhat patiently to get a ride in ridetech's Velocity Camaro but it just wasn't in the cards I guess. Got there too late, too many other participants and too many riders ahead of me.

Jason, you might like the site of this though:

I do like the site of that!! A lot!! Thanks! That's my friend, wheel client, and design client, Mike Yale. Last I heard from him yesterday was that he had low e.t. in the autocross for non-vendors only 2 seconds off Kyle Tucker(!) and won the DSE Muscle Machine of the Year nomination for the event! Way to go, Mike!

[Blitz]

Unfortunately I didn't get to watch his run. Was excited to see the car but didn't get any pictures of it either. Looks good!

Love that Buick.. we need to start a "Buick Performers" magazine.. or better yet a "Performers" magazine so we can cover everything!

All true. The announcer joked that Mike's second gen was the only one Kyle HADN'T driven around the track. I know there were four there total.

Jason, on your next event you should convince someone to get some video of you. I'd love to see that sucker dance around the cones.

Mike was a super cool down to earth guy and his car was very nice. The wheels were a good choice on his car.

I go the answer for the wheels. I think they are ROH Drift R wheels, they sell them here: http://www.groupawheels.com/Index.aspx

They're a good choice on EVERY car!

Then why do you make different styles? LOL
