Good to see Paul out again, Where's Mike?
2503 GT/A Paul Mercure, White Lake MI, '05 Cavalier 9.461 10.30 -0.839

I'm right here Ken...In CA that is!

Unfortunately I had some business back here to take care of so I had to leave MI before the race. Believe me as miserable as the racing conditions are at Martin I'd still rather be there than here in the desert where it is 106 degrees!

Just spoke with Merc from the track and the car is laboring in the humid air and the ET's show it. Paul said the air was 3800 feet on the second run which figures when the Cavalier only runs 140 and small change for speed. In just so-so conditions it usually will run mid 20's at 143-144.

Oh well...it is what it is!

Mike to honor the memory of the "Beers And Gears" triumphant tour, Jeff and I are pencilling in the stops for the 2011 "No Bar's Too Far" tour. Just seems like you and Merc would fit right in!

Great to see the "Team Checkmate" guys back out !!!

Mike Keener · 08-13-2010, 04:50 PM

Larry...You kill me man! "The no bars too far tour" Yupp count us in! We will be at the Indy NO with either the Cavalier or the Camaro. Just depends on the 396 comin' around a bit more, too early to tell right now.

Thanks Dave and Terry! Nice to hear from you guys and Dave, hopefully we will make it to the Dutch this year! Hey... if we make the Indy race and the Dutch we will rack up two grade points! LOL! Haven't though much about that in a while!

Terry 94 degrees...sign me up. Beats the hell out of 106!
