DJ Race Enterprise
The 2010 Racing season has been nothing but spectacular for the DJ Racing team. Danny Kellermeyer competing in both SCCA
National STO races and Waterford Hills ITE races dominated all the races with 91% 1st place podium finishes.
The Cauley-SKF-Rowleys Wholesale Corvette was spot on in all the SCCA National races, winning 5 and finishing 2nd in the sixth
race. It also set a new record at Gingerman Raceway. One SCCA Regional race was run with a Victory and a new track record was
also set.
Danny was even more dominant at the WHRRI race events, winning 15 of 16 and finishing 2nd in the other race. He also set a new
record in ITE during the 2010 season.
“Our competition has been tough and racing has been close. We have been qualifying up front which has really helped with our
overall results,” says Danny Kellermeyer, “We have been
extremely lucky”.

DJ Racing Corvette Events
DJ Racing Team: Displays and Shows
DJ Race Enterprise
Racing fans got to view the DJ Racing Corvettes during this 2010 season. NCCC
Calhoun County Corvette Show and Back to the Bricks Kick Off were two special
shows, which found the DJ Racing team talking Corvettes and parts.
Corvette Hospitality Race Weekend was once again fun and exciting. Corvette
owners got to see exciting racing, guest speakers and Corvette friendship.
Everyone had a great time.

DJ Racing shop having Corvette Fun!!
Americas Corvette Corvette show displayed 250 of the best Corvettes in the area and the ultimate in vendors and
other attractions. The picturesque Pine Knob Country Club was the ultimate in show atmosphere. Our Racecar
display was a big hit for the show, and the previous day we help host a trackday for many participates at the nearby
racetrack.
Back to the Bricks show in Flint, MI sported 130,000 spectators and 35,000 exhibiting cars. In 2011 promoters
expect even more.
The team is very approachable and it is an excellent opportunity to answer technical questions thrown their way
from spectators. Questions are always centered around what products we use, how to make their car stop faster or
how to make it go faster. Posters and giveaways are all part of the display. Driver autograph sessions can last up to
2 hours and gives the drivers an opportunity to meet everyone first hand.

Corvette Central and Swain Tech Coatings
Join Team for Support in 2010
Corvette Central In
the 1970’s, the Corvette
hobby was much
different than it is today.
It was a time of swap
meets, not catalogs or
internet buying power. It
was a time of new soft
bumpers, catalytic
converters and modest
horsepower.
Swain Tech Coatings provides high performance
engine coatings and industrial coatings to solve the problems
of wear, heat, friction and corrosion. Their high performance
coatings include ceramic thermal barriers, dry film lubricants,
ceramic exhaust coatings, oil shedding coatings and several
other coatings to improve the performance and/or durability of
high performance parts.
In addition to their high performance division, they also have
an extensive industrial division offering a variety of
engineered coatings. Piston coatings, exhaust coatings,
ceramic coatings, carbide coatings, metal coatings, polymer
coatings, PTFE coatings, hard anodize (hardcoat), and thin
hard coatings are some of the coatings that they can apply.
It was also a time when new Corvette parts were
scarce and most Corvette owners spent time sifting
through used parts at swap meets. It was then that
Jerry Kohn, a Corvette enthusiast from Michigan, was
searching out much needed parts for a 1958 Corvette.
He soon found that the parts he needed were either
unavailable, of poor quality or overpriced.
Industry and high
performance engine
builders call on Swain
Tech Coatings to solve
their problems involving
wear, chemical corrosion,
lubrication, temperature,
electrical conductance or
resistance, low or high
friction, and the rebuilding
of worn or mismachined
parts at a fraction of the
delivery time of new
replacement parts.
In March of 2001, we moved the administrative offices,
order fulfillment and warehouse operations into a new
40,000 square foot facility. Our manufacturing facility
remained in downtown Sawyer where it started.
In 2004, we added an additional 11,500 square feet to
the warehouse and a new 25,000 square foot
manufacturing facility adjoining our main building,
putting the entire operation in one location for the first
time in 30 years! Corvette Central produces six
generation specific parts catalogs and an accessory
catalog, which features gifts and accessories for every
year Corvette.
In the early 1970’s ceramic engineer Dan Swain
developed the first successful ceramic thermal barrier
coating for internal engine use. Dan and his ceramic
engineering brothers perfected this technology in both
their own NASCAR modified and with leading NASCAR
Winston Cup teams. Today, Swain Tech is widely
recognized as the premier coating company. Swain
Tech’s coatings achieve power and durability results
that simply would not be obtainable without Swain’s
coatings.
The seven catalogs total
over 1000 full color pages
listing over 45,000
parts.company that
specializes in Corvette
aluminum radiators. Now
offering "Direct Fit" high
performance aluminum
radiators for C1-C5
Corvettes.
We are pleased to have Dewitts Radiators and Patriot Performance as part of our DJ Racing
Program. Our racing success is not by chance, but rather by the use of quality products like these
companies products. Thanks for your support.
Thanks to all our fans, crew, sponsors and friends who are supporting us in this
2010 racing season.
