Racing In Autocross Week 2023! '85 Cutlass Prep

[@mysterymacaroni]

Can't wait to watch all the videos of you guys on the tour.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Should make for a cool journey to share! I'm excited for the trip.

[@Ronaldl2350]

Great video. Those events are going to be pretty cool. Going to be a pretty epic two weeks. Enjoyed all the technical talk about the car. Those eighties G body cars are fun.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Glad you found it enjoyable! It's going to be a really fun week. Talk about a cool car to do it in, too.

@@Greenlightfilming kinda random but did the gta have a chip in the key for vat?

[@Greenlightfilming]

@shane fasel yes, I believe it did. 99% sure.

[@therealcraigsutton2740]

Great to hear! Can't wait for more footage! Stay warm!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks dude!

Oldsmobile?...Ok, ok, I'm (now) a C6 guy, Everything C6, but I Love the GM Colonnade body style (73-77). Especially the Gran Sport! I've owned 2 Cutlasses, '74 and '77.

[@Greenlightfilming]

I'm familiar with those cars, they definitely have a unique look to them. They sort of remind me of the Laguna S3 of the same Era. Cool cars that aren't all that common nowadays.

[@hexoticace8667]

Good work! Keep it up bud.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks hammy

[@jeffreyevens2033]

Wow, that's a lot of mini projects in the one main project. Alot I never heard of. Thanks for the video.

[@Greenlightfilming]

You got that right. Lotsof folks see a finish product when they look at a car. They have a thousand smaller projects to get to that point. It takes dedication, that's for sure.

[@neumansown]

Happy Saturday

[@Greenlightfilming]

Happy Saturday dude

[@georgedreisch2662]

One word, ambitious…

[@Greenlightfilming]

It definitely is ha. We are going to log some serious miles.

[@nickcasper5105]

The body work is looking great Cody! It's going to look awesome with a wrap livery on it.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Should be at motorhead madness. I'm excited to see it

[@codysmithmotorsports736]

I'm excited for it. It will definitely be the nicest of any of the 4 cutlasses I've owned so far.

[@devisionhun]

Good luck on the event! 😊

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks bud! It's going to be an adventure ha

[@johnsnow1355]

I used to autocross in a big shopping mall parking lot. Your race track is way better suited for go-carts with a true oval or a chicane on the straight away. All ages racing not just men in cars.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Yep, it could be bigger and better. The fact of the matter here is that it does work, and many people have come out to do it multiple times. I'd like to do more paving, but it's going to take time. This year the goal is to add drifting to the menu. You'd never believe it if I could explain to you the absolute nightmare insurance is to deal with. You can't just snap your fingers and add new racing activities.

The link to Cody's channel isn't working on PC.

[@Greenlightfilming]

The link seems to have been corrupted after it uploaded. Fixed it now, thank you for telling me it was bad!

[@ramhurstrambler]

@@GreenlightfilmingAwesome. Thank you.

[@coleburner4750]

I’m ngl I completely forgot what happened to the Trans Am GTA?

[@Greenlightfilming]

The car was sold

[@shanefasel5153]

Did the key in the gta have a chip in it? Looking at buying one but they lost the key

[@marklangren3142]

Autocrossing is not racing.Racjng is wheel to wheel

[@Greenlightfilming]

I feel like most folks would consider autocrossing a form of racing. When we are at GingerMan, I believe it will be wheel to wheel.

[@marklangren3142]

@GreenLightFilming That would be the first time I have heard that. By the way good luck from someone else from the land of the frozen chosen

[@Greenlightfilming]

@@marklangren3142 you must be from the cold as well ha

[@ae86rally]

its racing, just against a clock, not first to the finish line. Thats fine if you like wheel to wheel racing, but autocross is a lot more affordable level to start racing and teaches you how to drive the car (with less risk to yourself and the car) and being against the clock, results are a lot less forgiving of mistakes

[@marklangren3142]

@@ae86rally Racing is wheel to wheel, autocross is a good way to start, cost, etc. Autocross is harder on the equipment, since most autocrosses want you to go down in to first gear at a rolling speed. Enjoy what you are doing, but you are not racing you are autocrossing. Part of my problem is I was at a PCA DE event and went ot my customer on monday, one of the engineers their stated to the engineeer he was racing the last weekend, he was not, the engineer who knew me asked and I told him the truth, along with I smoked him on the track. He wasn't racing
