1.) I have FINALLY FOUND a place for die-cast cars, shirts, and
NASCAR merchandise at a great price and from a great guy! It’s
KEVIN’S RACING COLLECTABLES and his prices can’t be beat
and he has a HUGE selection! Kevin is out of Odin, Ill. And is ALWAYS
at the Belleville Flea Market every 3rd weekend of the month. If you
are looking for ANY KIND of die-cast or NASCAR merchandise, give Kevin
a call at 618-775-8425 and see what he can do for you. He has been
nice enough to donate some cars for the $5.00 draw prize so please
support this great MERC sponsor!
2.) While your at the Belleville Flea Market, be sure and go see Dena
and Alan Adden (Team 55, CKYCTR3 Racing) at their fine shop, BEAR
CREEK Salsa, Soap, Books, and Select Tools. They are inside the building,
toward the back. Be sure and tell them you’re a “MERC
member”.
3.) Anyone interested in vintage model kits can contact Team owner
Rick Gray or me. He has an unbelievable collection of them and is
willing to part with some at a very fair “MERC price”.
4.) Anyone that is interested in joining a great organization, the
Moose, feel free to get in touch with MERC members John Smith, Bill
Dittmar, or Paul Brooks.They do a great deal of community service
and there are also a bunch of cool perks.
5.) This is where you’ll be able to find how many “MERC
CHIPS” you have in your bank.
Here are the teams with PERFECT ATTENDANCE for all the get-togethers.
If you have perfect attendance for all the get-togethers at the end
of the year, you’ll receive THREE bonus “CHIPS”
in your bank! COME TO THE GET-TOGETHERS!!
Remember, for each get-together you come to, you will receive one
“MERC CHIP” in your bank. Also, for every new team member
you got in at the start of the year, you got one “MERC CHIP”
in your bank. Later in the season, there MIGHT be other ways to earn
chips! Keep watching and listening! ALL the money earned from the
following 8 get-togethers will go towards the "MERC chip program"
and will be given away at the awards bash. It should be a hell of
a pot!! 42 Envelopes given away in 2009!
