Car #	Team / Name	Color	Sponsors	Notes & Shameless Promotion
6	Pat CHECKEL	New 2010 spy photo here! Built NEW in 2005 after rally incident with previous car. One owner. Pontiac Acadian	Checkel Racing	Pat's initial plan for a new car. A summer rally accident put a few permanent kinks in old Car 6 (previously Car 46 of rally and ice racing fame). See Pat's Ice Racing stories from 2004.
11	Herb FLEWWELLING	Very Purple Car 11	Wanted	The trade mark purple car has again shown up and made its mark in the field...racing 3 races in 2009 and 2 in 2010. This car was the championship car when son Steve terrorized the grid a decade ago.
15	Scott STRETCH	Black & Red Car 15		Rookie in the Vette class for 2008. Was driving a Mazda Miata in 2007, but decided to go faster... Racing in 2010.
17	Craig BALL & Kevin McMillan [Owner=Al Winklmeier-Penske]	Blue Car 17	Wizard Lake Cottage	A rookie for 2007 Ice Racing but no rookie to racing, Craig can challenge in any given race. Kevin proved himself as a smooth driver in 2008. Team orders may limit car's true podium potential. E-mail: www.fastball racing.com
26	Al Winklmeier	Purple Car 26 Car #36 was NEW in 2003. Changed to #26 in 2007. New owner for 2010.	Crown Royal, Esmeraldas Night Club, The Locker room Sports Bar, All About the Fans NASCAR Collectibles	Al reminds of Nigel MANSELL, always a threat to win but too often finds trouble along the way... The NEW car in 2010 may bring the consistency required to reach the podium, rather than reaching for Amodium....
29	Bruce TAYLOR	Blue & Fire Car 29 Built NEW for 2008	Unknown	Rookie for 2008. Raced in 2009. Sharp looking car. Shiny & new sheet metal....
32	Alyssa PASCOAL	Red 2-door Car 32 Built NEW for 2009		Rookie driver in the Chevette class for 2010, joining her big brother and Dad as Ice Racers. Alyssa has big Blizzaks to fill (or follow) in this racing family.
34	Rodney NICHOLS	Blue / Purple 2-door Car 34 Was Tim GEE car 4		Rookie driver in 2008. The Car was 004 driven by Alberta's own Tim GEE, but was transformed into #34 with a careful twist of the utility knife. Best roll cage in town!
34 'B'	Johnny WIERSMA	White (was Car 34 decades ago...) Was build around 1959...		Johnny is up there in the all-time win column and may be the leader in wins from the back of the pack. Sprint car racer of many years, driving sideways is old hat. Other drivers - watch your mirrors! Won a race in 2009.
37	Professor Dave CHECKEL	Blue Car 37 #37 raced until 2002 with first owner. Car #37 re-surfaced in 2005 with current owner.	Checkel Racing	Rookie driver in 2005, shows bursts of speed and always runs clean. Needs more ΔV/Δt. Or perhaps higher ƒ or increased Ц through advanced adhesion. Seeking more √₧. Also, it's time for more U of A engineering grad work on that prototype dynamic stability control system... Has this car been tech'd lately? (hint...) New doors acquired in 2010 with racing experience should bring Car 37 to the front!
39	Julian PASCOAL	Grey with Orange wheels Car 39 Built NEW for 2010		Rookie driver in the Chevette class for 2009, but no rookie to Ice Racing. Father & son racing team now for several years (pops used to race #32 FWD, VW). Julian has already won TWO races in 2009 and a 2010 race. Could be the carb....
54	Terry BRESSMER Race Motto	Hopefully any color but Rusty GREY Car 54 Car #54 raced in 2001 with previous owner. Same number, new owner since 2002. Last painted in 1986.	Judy & the "AVON" lady *(Wanted: A paint sponsor...)*	Rookie of the Year in Chevette racing in 2002. Car 54 caught up to the leaders and WON the series in 2006. Terry added a turbo to the Vette for 2005 and added tinted rear windows for 2007 (what's he hiding?), ending up 3rd overall in points. Repeat Champ in 2008 & 2009. Chevette Class Rep. (he makes the rules...)
55	Lionel "MAC" McKERNAN ("Can't drive"...55)	Yellow with a wrinkled roof Car 55 Has been Car #55 since day 1, 1996. One owner, many drivers, lots of doors and smoke and rollovers and...WINS and...more smoke and...	Mammoth Productions	The 2004 "Champ" returned to defend his fast legacy on the ice, ending up 3rd overall in 2005 and 2006; and 4th in 2007. One of the 'original' Vette cars built for the 1996 season. Lionel (Can't drive 55) couldn't part with this bucket of bolts for 2008, finishing 3rd for the season, winning a bunch of races.
73	Emile CHAPUT	RED Car 73 Built NEW? for 2006		A rookie in 2006, Emile has acquired the OLD car #40 and re-painted it RED with white lettering. Hailing from Lac La Biche, his wife and 2 girls are now big race fans. Co-organized the Lac La Biche races in 2008 and 2009.
78	Jim GRAHAM writes most of the finer propaganda found on this Web site.	Canada Post Red Car 78 Built NEW in 2003. One owner since, low miles, great shape, no rust, driven mostly on Sundays.	Graham Ryan Consulting Financial Health Centre MADD, Defend-A-Driver	New car 78 introduced in '03 went slightly faster in '04, collecting a few race wins. Car still straight after 2005 in spite of driver 78 . Car now in show-room condition. Can't risk meeting Car 24's bumper, so car semi-retired.
79	ChevettesOnIce ^c/o Jim GRAHAM	Dark Green Car 79 Was Car #13 in 1996 and 1997. New owner in 1998, became #79 since then.	Argyll Motor Sports Defend-A-Driver, Financial Health Centre	The Argyll Motor Sports Chevrolet made its debut in 2007 with a renewed enthusiasm. Car now slightly narrowed over the years... 2008 finished 6th in WCC in spite of Stop'n Go chat with officials... 2009 got 3rd place in WCC weekend. 2010 plan is LLB world Championship weekend.
83	Les KOOCHIN	Yellow Car 83 Looked NEW for 2009! (experienced car...)		A rookie in 2009, Les has already made a statement by winning a race in Round 3 after earning the pole position. One of 2 fast rookie drivers in 2009.
92	Debbie KOOCHIN	Yellow Car 92 Looked NEW for 2010!		A rookie in 2010, joining another lady racer (Car 32). We hope she did NOT get driving lessons from Car 83!
