Re: Track Rental @ 2002 Reunion
 

in response to the dragstrips in the St. Louis area, besides Gateway, there is Wentzville and it is 45 miles west on highway
40/70 from Gateway, It is however an older track with dirt and gravel pits...

I had posted on 9-26-01 about a track rental that some of my Mopar buddies did, there were 20 guys that went in on it, cost was 600 bucks but there was another group also there that day which I sure helped hold the cost down. If you were to use the track it would probally have to be on Saturday in the morning since Gateway has a night program.
I haven't been on their web site lately to see if the 2002 schedule is posted , but I
will and will post here if the reunion date
is open on Sunday or Saturday.

How much is it to rent the track ?

Re: Track Rental @ 2002 Reunion
 

Well, Bill (from Gateway) finally returned from vacation today, and called us first thing this morning. The news wasn't too promising https://www.yenko.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif. We couldn't get the convention center on Labor Day again this year due to the world karate convention already booked for that weekend, so we had to move the Reunion back a bit. Well, that weekend at Gateway, they are holding "Black Sunday", which unlike the name would lead you to believe, is a 3 day event. But, Bill did say it was possible that we could possibly get some track time Sunday morning, if the promoter of the other event ok's it. So, that's where we are at...anyone else still interested in some track time?

I came across this link regarding track rental. It is NOT for the Gateway track, but it does give you an idea of the cost of renting a dragstrip. Looked VERY reasonable to me. http://www.norwalkraceway.com/info/rental.html

This isn't a suggestion,just thinking out loud.

If the The Supercar Reunion and the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags,were combined.......Man would that be one COOL weekend!

Re: Track Rental @ 2002 Reunion
 

Actually, that would be an excellent suggestion ! Too bad there isn't an indoor facility close by.
