My SSR: SSR 04 – PEDIGREE SSR Chrome Wheels w/ 1st Aux. Gauge Package released for Production. #9684
Chevy SSR History Images III
Ed Ivey "freezer" provided these great series of photos and I will try to share as many of them as I can in hopes that you might enjoy viewing them as much as I did. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea where some of them may have been taken and what they were doing in them.
The file names give us a clue... 2003 INDY in AZ etc. It does appear that Ed was there doing some GM testing in the severe desert conditions. Maybe Mike in AZ can point out the highlights of the area since he is from AZ.
BTW: We can see Ed running around in these photos from time to time.

You can see this is now race day at Indy. Tons of people hanging around and in the stands. A lot of the top GM figures are in many of these photos including Bob and Ed ...

Sure are a lot of big smiles around the track.
Plus... Wayne Cherry the "God Father" of our SSRs sure has a super huge smile on his face.

My SSR: 06 Aqua Blur 6 speed 3SS with chrome package 23688 Born on March 1st 2006
Great Pictures!! I like the ones where it appears thery are doing the field testing prior to release of the SSR. I saw a group of Corvette Z06's doing the same in the Columbus OH area just befroe they were released. Lots of antennas and radios while they convoyed around. What ever happened to those Indy pacecars?

I saw it in a magazine sometime ago, a concept that was made about the same time the SSR was, I can't remember it's name!

I saw it on display at the 50th anniversary of the Corvette in Nashville in 2003. By the way Marc, great pictures.

Yes, fabulous pictures. I have viewed these many times looking for detail trying to unravel some of the mystique surrounding the Pace Trucks and Race Day.
