Gasser Autocross Video – Get’n Sideways!
Rob’s 1955 Chevy Gasser Hits the Goodguys Autocross
As you know from the 1968 Shelby GT500-KR post I did, I love the autocross Goodguys puts on with their Arizona Spring Nationals Show in March. You can’t beat AZ in March (see the folks wearing shorts in the pic below!) and you can’t beat hot rods sliding sideways when they were built to be driven in a straight line.
Case in point is Rob “thehazmatguy” and his 1955 Chevy Bel Air he just calls, “1955” in his personal garage here at MyRideisMe.com. Looking at the car, it doesn’t take long to notice the nod to Gassers of old. (Every Hot Rod Gasser Story at MyRideisMe.com)
The slightly nose-up stance, fenderwell headers and plenty of punch from the ZZ4 Chevy under the hood linked to the compulsory manual box changing gears, this time in the form of a TKO600. Nuff to say, this car’s sweet.
When I saw Rob in line to run the autocross, I had to watch and his girlfriend, Ryan Marie took this video to show how Rob drove it hard!!

It’s a lot of fun to watch a non-autocross car make a tire-smoking, squeeling, cone pitching lap through the autocross course. It’s even more fun when you’re the guy driving the car!
That looked fun.
Awsome, nice to see you having fun with your ’55 !
Great video, that car is a real sleeper looks almost like a stock and goes and sounds like a racecar.
I like it.
This was so much fun!!! I just wish we would’ve filmed a 1st person perspective on the first run… now THAT would’ve been AWESOME!!! :)
Man, that must have been some great fun. Those cars are made to beat on and they will take it!!!
Looked like a lot of fun! Highway workers watch out for this car though when you have your cones set up LOL
Nice Randy! Some innocent cones were, in fact, harmed during the making of this video.
Rob that video was sweet, sorry I missed it in real life, was too busy catchin up with friends on the grass. I didn’t even get a chance to see the autocross this year. But I did catch the guys from Speedworld run their 54 gasser on this course last year, what a hoot.
That would be interesting to try in the strange bird hahaha.
