No i think not so fast. I have see the ssb for years at Bitburg with empi 48. The new Owner have again 48 idas i think thats orginal style.
i m so happy to see the car in good hands because one of my all time favorite race cars. Video coming soon

Hi Carl,

The SSB ran not that fast as before,i saw it run a few 13.xx passes at EBI,maybe it went quicker over the weekend so anyone else can fill in maybe?
Engine sounded good but not as crispy as it was before.Maybe the new owner takes it easy on the car,as we all know Dido always  ran the car as he "stole it"...

That's also the way this car is supposed to be run 

Best regards Steve.

Thanks Steve!

You know exactly what I`m talking about. The SSB had the little extra very often missing from www built engines. The same goes for Arto Vatjas amazing 2276 that totally dominated all the top list from 2005 and onwards. In his full weight 69 he ran super low 11`s @ 120 mph.

Thank you for sharing the pictures Dan Ahrendt!

Does the SSB still run as strong as it did years ago? I contacted Mark years ago and he gave me the receipe of the 11.03 ET engine and I copied it to every detail.

My dad and I were pitted across from Mark that day. I still remember him pouring ugly looking yellow fuel into it before making a pass. I asked him what it was, told me it was just 91 octane. Then it went and ran that 11.03 run. Cool day, fun memory.
