I have no words ....and quite frankly I'm getting sick and tired of seeing new bests from this guy!

Congrats once again to Dennis and Cartek Racing on putting together a most hellacious 'stock internals/bolt ons only' Corvette.

Wow...can you believe there was a time not so long ago that I was within a couple tenths of this guy...I've put in a cam & a FAST to the tune of what, about $3k and I'm .4 faster... in the meantime Dennis lost a full second...

Just doesn't seem fair.

Dennis would you mind posting up ALL your mods you've done, including weight reduction, so others can see what it takes? And specifically, what did you do since 4/07 that took you from mid 11's to mid 10's?

Inquiring minds wanna know!

Nice going guys! Way to keep raising the bar.
I can see you smilin' Dennis, you deserve it!
Just how are you gonna slow down enough to run the 11.50 next year. We need you out there.
Hope all is well.

I think it may be worth going for the bolt/on ls1 record with a street car.
You're at a huge disadvantage in weight (car that is lol) but are very close and that car is a true race car. I think the et is around 10.63. Something I've been thinkin about too.

I'm not much into drag racing, but when I go to the strip, I really hope I see you there Dennis, because it sounds like you are THE guy to learn some tips from... Congratulations!

I'm sure he'll chime in, but it's the same stuff he's been running all year.
Why spray if you don't have to.
