First of all, I would like to thank everyone who offered suggestions regarding SCR16.

We are pleased to announce that SCR16 will be returning to Gateway Motorsports Park, which is located near Madison/Collinsville, IL, just East of St. Louis.

For 2013 Gateway will be hosting four shows, Super Chevy, Ford Fun Weekend, Monster Mopar weekend, and The All American Show (TAAS). TAAS is designed to bring together the best of the best from the previous three shows. Gateway, in their efforts to have the best of the best at TAAS, reached out to us, to see if we would be interested in hosting our Annual Super Car Reunion during that event.

TAAS is a three day event, August 9th, 10th and 11th, 2013. Test and Tune and early parking on Friday, car show and drag racing on Saturday and Sunday, with cash and awards for both race cars and show cars.

During the event we will have out own area, close to the grandstands, on asphalt and fenced off, for both cars racing and for cars for display only. Though anyone who would like to compete for cash/awards for TAAS is more then welcome to do so, as a group, as in the past, grudge racing only and no judging.

The host hotel will be the Doubletree in Collinsville, which is the one we have used in the past, and only minutes from Gateway. We will have our usual “meet and greet” for early arrivals on Thursday at the hotel. Track day (play day) will be at Gateway on Friday, an all day TNT, and a chance for anyone who would like, to pre-register and drop off their trailer/car. The actual show will begin on Saturday, with racing, car show, vendors, etc. As a group, we will have our cars on display (in our own area) and will make a couple of passes (exhibition) down the ¼. The show continues on Sunday, with basically the same schedule as Saturday.

Each evening the show ends at around 5:30pm, which will allow us to do other things.

At present we have plans to have a social time/banquet type meal Friday evening.

Anyone who would like to participate, be a sponsor, volunteer (photos, video, etc) please contact Rob or myself.

Dennis, that is what I heard from most of the folks I spoke with, that what made the SCR special was the laid back, friendly, family type atmosphere, which for whatever reason seemed to be the norm at Collinsville.

Gateway contacted me about doing something a little different on Sunday. Since the goal of The All American Show is the bring together the best of all of the brands, they thought it might be neat to do some type of Checy versus Ford versus Mopar shootout (for fun of course). I thought the idea sounded kind of cool.

<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif Why would the Ford &amp; MOPAR guys want to subject themselves to such an obvious humiliation?
