Dennis was a hoot to visit with, he was certainly enjoying his new Ferrari that he had in the Ferrari Corral at Road America. He said that Ronnie Kaplan of Nickey fame pumped up the engine. Not bad racing history there. We spoke for 30 minutes about the car and he said there was a time when he got all he could out of the car the way it was set up, he was considering pulling the IRS out and putting in a straight axle rear. I'm glad that he didn't, his son was only in the car once, when Dennis pulled it out to get fuel on it's annual trip on the street.

I see this car regularly and I'm still amazed by it, even though Paul has not let me "light up the tires" yet.
