Keeling Motorsports geared up with new car for 2011 Quick 32 Sportsman Series
ERD big-block, Bickel Race Car, and Cynergy body add up to strong potential
OWEN SOUND, ONTARIO (February 4, 2011) – With a new car, Quick 32 Sportsman Series competitor Dave Keeling said he is looking forward to the upcoming season.
“We’ve got a brand spanking new car,” mentioned Keeling about his Jerry Bickel Race Cars 1968 Camaro Top Sportsman entry. “And we’re getting anxious to get out and race.”
Keeling has assembled a new car based around the 762-cubic inch big-block engine from the shops of ERD (Engine Research & Development).
The new Camaro body is from Cynergy Composites, one of the top names in doorslammer car bodies. The Keeling Camaro is one of Cynergy’s state-of-the-art ultra light bodies, weighing in at 41 pounds.
Sitting behind the nitrous-fed engine is a Coan Engineering Mega Glide two-speed transmission, which Keeling believes will help him down the track this year.

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.
