Etobicoke drag racer set to take on the world

Jerry Mitrovic didn’t exactly research builders or pour over manufacturers when he needed to build a new Outlaw 10.5-inch tire car for the drag-racing wars in Canada and the U.S.

Neither did the Etobicoke resident import the finest minds in the business for motor tech, nor take time off work to visit any of the famous fabrication labs in the U.S.

Mitrovic relied on his own imagination, and with the help of some local experts, his result is a one-of-a-kind 1969 Camaro-based racer. But even that distinction only begins to define a car that really has no comparison.

‘Trickie Rickie’ wins Gators Pro Mod title

Veteran “Trickie Rickie” Smith raced to his first victory in the NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by ProCare Rx Monday during the rain-delayed Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals.

Smith, a former multi-time winner in NHRA Pro Stock competition, held off event top qualifier Mike Castellana in the final round after defeating Adam Flamholc, Raymond Commisso and Leah Pruett in the first three rounds. In his only other NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series final round appearance, Smith lost to Khalid alBalooshi last spring in Las Vegas.

In the final round at historic Auto-Plus Raceway at Gainesville, Smith powered his trademark red ’68 Camaro past Castellana’s ’68 Camaro with a performance of 5.913 seconds at 240.29 mph. Castellana left the starting line first with an amazing .006 reaction time, but his car got loose near mid-track and slowed to a run of 6.435 at 189.79 mph.
