In conclusion, there is one more person I need to acknowledge, the late Dennis Hartweg. Having a club display at each Chevy/Vettefest, featuring “dealer prepped” cars was his idea. The sYc is only doing our best to keep his dream alive. Because Dennis was so into Gibb cars, I thought it was fitting that one of Dennis’ cars, Tommy K’s Gibb/Harrell Nova, as well as the “First Lady of the Supercar World”, Helen Gibb and her Nova, were featured in the Vettefest media guide and were front and center at the show. Even though Dennis is no longer with us, his spirit and love for the supercar hobby will always live on within the sYc.

Tom,
Thank you for those words. You know Dennis and I were close friends and I'm sure he's very proud of how things have progressed. I couldn't think of a better person to represent Dennis' cars than Tommy Kusmiesz. Just an all-around Great individual, and a true Ambassador for our hobby. I'm very proud to call Tommy a personal friend as well.
We'll do our best to make you proud Dennis Hartweg! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

I sure do miss him. He was a great guy. Thank you everybody.

Dennis was in fact a true hobbiest and friend. He made me feel very welcome and did his best to help me on several occassions.

Ok so I am biased but have said it before. In addition to all that Dennis has done for the hobby and research with the help of many people I also want to once again publically thank Annie for her continuation of his efforts. She has made it a point to keep up with the research he started and promote the Gibb/Harrell name and is still working deligently today on it. She has spent countless hours in her office going through everything and continuing to try and put the puzzles together. At SCR8, her race in the Nova against Jeff's ZL-1 really hit home with her and gave her even more incentive to continue with Dennis's dream. I don't think he will ever be forgotten. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

That was a cool moment! I just wish I hadn't broken the car - we could have kept going all afternoon. I'm glad that little trip down the lanes had as much of an impact on young Annie as it had on me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I came onto this board after Dennis passed away...but after talking with Dennis Cumby, Ken B., Kim Howie and Annie herself...I understand a little bit of what kind of person Dennis was. I am honored to know Dennis Cumby, Ken, Rick, Kim, Annie and all of the SYC people that have made me feel welcome on this site

I believe that Dennis Hartweg "got it" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
