I ran 6 times ... found the end of track on last run. I let up to soon on all other runs.
My best was 16.03 / 84mph with the cargo box loaded and case of pop and munches in passenger seat. Another 365 lbs in the drivers seat.
all stock Lm4 auto 2003
Those girls are fast because they are all light weights

**** Anyone with good pictures of rebel on the track ... I would like to see them posted .... I will probably never do it again and I did not get any photos taken.

Here's all the trucks I could find in my pics, REBEL . . . Hope you can recognize one of them as yours, although I notice none of them have the unique "original" mirror modification as yours does, sorry.

I'm pretty sure I have the order right from first to last run:

1) 20.55 @ 77.25 MPH Rd Lt
2) 16.92 @ 87.77 MPH (I think this is the one (or the one against Carl) where she ended up in the other lane...oops)
3) 16.67 @ 93.93 MPH (against Carl in his vette, 13.64 @ 104.17 MPH)
4) 14.08 @ 89.39 MPH (against Rebel, 16.63 @ 67.26 MPH)
5) 13.81 @ 88.08 MPH
6) 13.60 @ 102.32 MPH (against Anne, 15.33 @ 85.47 MPH)
7) 13.70 @ 101.28 MPH (against Anne, 14.87 @ 91.31 MPH)
8) 13.68 @ 89.37 MPH (this could have been a good one...damn invisible finish line!) (against Anne - no time)

Sorry Rebel...I just went through my pics and I have none of your truck....you must have been going way too fast! Maybe Big Jim or John caught you on video.

By the way...I thought it was really cool that the track had complete replicas of our trucks for us to use...

If I had only had a few more hundred feet of strip It seems my SSR didnt' shift til just about where the Time/Light was but after that, she got her second wind and picked up speed so much so that it was hard to stop at the end!

I think we all missed where the lines where, I know I made the first turn off on my first run Must have been going way to slow!

more guts than I would have had...would have been too afraid of having to limp the home from Springfield.

I told my husband, I found my new hobby it was a blast

On our way home yesterday, we ran into my cousin and her husband at the gas station. He's licensed, and runs his 800hp vette. He's all excited about taking us to get new tires for dragging...and getting Nancy to the track for some training.

How the hell did this happen!?!? I created a monster! Well...you all helped!

[wildcat66]

oh no you can't blame this on us!

OK then...I'll just blame Jack!

[wildcat66]

That'll work, after all he was helping her with his tips

Anne must have bump her knee on something as I'm sure she can do better.

My first run was awful, second run I lifted before the end , still did 14.35 next run was with Mcvetts 07 vet so I got off the line better for a 14.29 at97.something, and my 4th run was again against Carl and I beat him off the line again and as the first time he waved as he went by about half way down, it was the quickest at 14.23. Iv got Mikes pipes, TPI tune ,and 410 gears. I left the ssr in drive with traction control turned off .Didnt really rev up at the line justheld the brake and torked up a little. If you did everyu thing right I think you could hit 5he 13s. mine shifted at 6100 so there is more there.

I have just one picture of you at the drags.
Sorry it's a little blurred. I could send you a high res pic if you want it

Finally a picture surfaces of the top secret Rebel SSR. Any pictures of the new rear and the paint???????????????

[Mike in AZ]

When we left for the strip, I had no intention of running the truck...... I had a full tank of 91 octane gas and about 250 pounds of stuff in the bed. Definitely not at "fighting weight".

My times were:

15.26 @ 92.3
15.30 @ 90.8
15.11 @ 92.8

As I remember, it was about 75 degrees and the pressure altitude was 3,000 feet. I'm sure that a cooler day with sea level density would have given all the naturally aspirated trucks a better time.

I'm neither surprised or disappointed. It was a lot of fun. No tune, no gears...... just a Rush filter and Old School Duals. About what I expected.....

Rebel and all other Fanatics;

It a was a pleasure meeting alot of the Fanatics who came to Springfield, Mo. I found a picture of you Racing McVette and tried to get a picture of all SSR's that Raced. I will try and attach it to this Post and will look for any others I might have. I had to return home on tuesday, but enjoyed the Time there with all of you. I guess I need some Instuctions as to Incert a Jpeg in a post before I can get that Picture to you Rebel.
