Grinder worked better for me. I had rolled my fenders and it seemed ok until a few good launchs then instead of risk cracking my paint I decided to break out the dremel.

Sorry, I clicked on the wrong forum, but I may be of some assistance.
If you take your time, have someone help you, and use the heat gun that's provided, rolling you fenders is really, really, easy. You can't even tell I rolled mine, unles of course, you put your hand under there.
In fact, the guy that recommended I roll my fenders had a GTO, and his ended up great too. Of course, my car isn't as fast as y'alls, so I don't know if you'd still have the same problems at the track as the other guy? 
Anyway, I rented mine from rollyourfender.com. I would highly recommend them if you decide to do it. If you do decide to do it and would like some help/tips you can always PM me.
Okay, I'll get out of here.

I also rolled mine with the help of a heat gun...no problems at all. The local GTO people here in Indiana had a fender roller, but I'm not sure who has it at the moment. I can try to track it down, but we might be a bit too far away for you.
