Will compete with Big-Block ERD-powered Corvette for 2010
OWEN SOUND, ONTARIO (February 8, 2010) – Dave Keeling can’t wait for the racing season to start.
And that’s not just because the Owen Sound, Ontario native is ready to hop into his Corvette to race in the upcoming Quick 32 Sportsman Series, he said he is looking forward to being with his fellow racers.
“This program (the Quick 32 Sportsman Series) will be great, from what I saw last year,” he mentioned. “I thought the racers would all be quiet and reserved, but just the opposite is true. There is a great camaraderie with the group, and I would like to be a part of it.”
Keeling started racing with a Top ET Camaro only three years ago, but was able to help and observe in the pits working on the Sportsman cars while learning how to drive and tune his 572-cubic inch Corvette last season.
