gateway intl. raceway sucks as always..

Ouch. I better start saving now. Worth it though, from everything I hear car improvements < driver improvements

Well, there are 1 days events for $200ish, but really, and I see it everytime, the progress obtained on that second day is HUGE

You really smooth out and speed up

Most people on day 1 just resolve getting the hang of it, but don't get the opportunity to "put it together" on a day 2

Def makes a great holiday gift AND you will absolutely be a much safer driver, more in control of your car

All these accident reports on the news where the "driver lost control" are BS ... the driver gave up control

So, for $300, consider this the best "mod" you can do for your car

I will step off my soapbox now

Import Face-Off here and yes, we tried booking a date with Jason (Gateway) this year, but were shot down. Are there any other tracks in the St. Louis area that may be interested in an Import race with legitimate rules/classes?

theres an 1/8 miles track south of mt vernon, il.. but its like a honky tonk type of track.. mainly domestics

Iemailed them as this what they said to me


"We look at every possible opportunity to bring new and exciting events to Gateway International Raceway. However, it is doubtful that we would cancel any of our Midnight Madness nights. The Midnight Madness events draw approximately 4,000 paying customers/fans per event and has become an anticipated event on many social calendars. The "16 year old kids" with "slow cars" are paying customers who otherwise would be unable to race down an NHRA-sanctioned track.

We thank you for the kind words concerning Gateway International Raceway and again, we look for different events that draw different fans. We will look into the possibility of hosting the event you have mentioned. If you have any further suggestions or comments, please do not hesitate to bring them to our attention.
