The last time I drove by there, it looks like they have a lot of work to do.

Special thanks to real estate developer and former professional race car driver Curtis Francois for purchasing Gateway and getting things back on track for the 2012 season. The looks of the track are probably not as bad as one would think. I know he is going to make this a nice top contender again since he has already secured the blessing of NHRA for the 2012 season Midwest Nationals! Now lets focus on getting back the NMCA/NMRA/LSX series for 2012!!!!!

Many many people here said how much the liked the location, the layout and how well things went. We hope this all happens again!!!!

On a personal note, Dover, STAY AWAY!!!!

Also guys they are breaking ground this week on the new MAR this will be in New Florence Mo about a hour away from STL. http://www.marpark.net/ They said we will be racing on it in the spring. Think it will be MO only 1/4 drag strip. They havent updated the site in a while. But they did hang the sign

Sad to see. I remember driving out there from Ohio to race in NSCA races in 98 and 99. It was an awesome track.
