Dennis,
Great runs. Wish I could have been there. Don't ask about why I did not make it. I'm still steaming. Congrats.

11.21@121.29 in a full weight, stock internals, naturally aspirated LS2 C6 ...I don't know what else to say.
Cartek Racing had a very good day at the track today, another C5 (and another supercharged one at that) in the 9s, yet another naturally aspirated GTO heads and cam car (an LS1 5.7L no less) in the 10s and a mere C6 bolt on car running with stock C6 Z06s.
Yes, Cartek is still making great things happen.

It's true, I was considering going and then I read that thread and saw that others might be there as well (and I of course read the weather charts as well LOL) and it helped me decide.

Dennis and Marc,
Sorry I did not catch up with you. My car was in for some minor bodywork. (Something kicked up from the road and caused a small crack the the quarter panel and bumper. ) I was to have it back by Wednesday. When I called it was not ready, but I was told I could pick it up on Saturday between 9:00 and 2:00. So my wife, one of my children, and I drove 50 minutes to the shop. The owner was spraying it when I arrived and he informed me that I could come back when he calls around 2:00. Needless to say, this KILLED my plans to see you guys.
Again, congrats Dennis and would have been nice to see you Marc. I'll be watching the weather forecast.

Hope it all works out Gary, see ya at the track again one of these days I'm sure, hope the weight of that extra paint work doesn't slow your car down too much though.
