Video: A 1972 Buick GS Attacks the Autocross
Posted by

Autocrossing is one of the more powerful mechanical addictions that can spring up in the realm of gearheads. Attacking a tight course of cones with wild abandon is incredibly fun, and carving your time down around the course is as difficult as shaving hundredths off your elapsed time at the strip. The best part is that autocrossing is economical and in comparison to winging the motor to redline down the strip multiple times, down right easy on parts!

There are full boogie autocross machines out there from the like of companies on the order of Detroit Speed and Engineering, and Ride Tech with suspensions that some race cars envy and steering ratios that can out react an NHL goaltender. 

The 1972 Buick shown in this clip seems like a nice car from out in-cabin vantage point. We dig this clip because the driver is really working the tiller to hustle the car around the course. This Buick can scoot! (Don’t mind Chad’s voice in the background. He was the announcer for this Goodguys Autocross)
