My SSR: 2005 Ricochet #14248 " Lean into the turns if that don't work pray"
Friday night drags
It has been a while since I posted, I have been out of town working and very little time to drive the . I took it out to the local drags Friday night and it ran good. It was a street legal night but there was still a few trailered in that were not street legal. There was likely 60 - 80 cars racing. I ran the about 12-14 times I lost track, I know I got 2 jmiles to the gallon that I am sure of LOL. Anyway the video is of only 3 races my wife took it she came late I won all but 3 of the runs and did not lose to anything that was street legal.Not saying it was the fastest there just the fastest street legal that I went up against. The one I am most happy about is the the run agaist the Ford Lightning, I am not sure what year it was. My SSR is stock other than removed Maf screen, amsoil airfilter and a custom tune.

Hi Rebel
I missed the last 15 months of my life, I have been working in Toronto supervising the construction of 2 new utility boilers, this job took over my life not a good thing. I promise once it is over I will get on a couple of runs with you guys and gals. It should be complete by the end of this month and I am hoping to get my life back.
Nothing more satisfying that beating Fords, when I ran my SSR in March my favorite run was the one against a new Mustang GT, he ran a 13.64 and I beat him by about 4 car lengths with a 13.21

Hi Poppa
Yes it has been a while, I have been working out of town and I do not use my work computor for personal stuff. I also have not been getting home many weekends, so the has been neglected lately. I do still love it though it puts a smile on my face just opening the garage door. Yes I am still running the same custom tune and have only used 94 octane gas in it, which I can only get at Sunoco up here, I am glad everyone is enjoying the video and thanks for the compliments everyone. Someday it is going to get a supercharger but thats a ways off.

These are my times from May 2007
I posted this last year, this was at the same track when they did have the tree up.There was a head wind the night these times were run I am not sure it made any difference though.

Must say it was a lot of fun,I think I did okay, and the SSR preformed well, I was close to what I expected, I got six runs in and got better everytime. I think that was due to the night getting cooler as it went along. My first run was around 7pm and last run around 10pm. There where a ton of cars and I think the SSR did us all proud, only lost once the first one of course by a 1/2 car length was gaining from about 3 car lengths behind off the line. The car that beat me was a done up Eagle Talon, I then beat 2 mustangs, a Grand National we both redlighted I saw him go and went too, Then beat a GTO Nissan a european model with the stearing wheel on the wrong side, and a ford probe turbo GT and the last one of the night was against an old super bee with a 440 thought that it would likely beat me but he could not hook up and I beat him by 20 car lenghts.

Thats what the slips read anyway, fairly consistant. I power braked a bit not to hard, just let the automatic shift itself, I think the last run I may have power braked a little more , I was real slow out of the gate but had a good time.
