Gateway Tue. 6/22 Rescheduled to Thur. 6/24... Due to heat warnings posted for the area and a forecasted high temperature of 100 degrees, the Tuesday, June 22nd, event at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Illinois, which includes the Street Car Shootout Series, Big St. Charles Motorsports Street Bike Shootout Series and High School Eliminator
programs held in conjunction with the NHRA Drags Street Legal Style presented by the American Automobile Association, has been postponed and rescheduled for Thursday, June 24th. The postponed event will be held in conjunction with the scheduled Slick Tire/Motorcycle program.
