Closer to the gateway center.

I see.

Re: Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion
 

Well, not so sure about that, newbie. The racing was at Gateway Intl. last year, which is basically right across the interstate, and the turn out of racers was about the same. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of interest in the "go" part of the show.

Re: Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion
 

Rob, I know there were a few additional folks who would have raced this year if it had been at Gateway. Since I was heading east to go home, I wasn't able to add the additional 2 hours to my trip and still get home in time. I'd vote to go back to the racing on Sat. evening if the show is not on a holiday weekend and on Sunday morning if it is over a 3-day weekend. Nonetheless, we had a GREAT time at the show and will be back next year. Wish I could have made the racing this year, sounds like there were some awesome runs.

Charley:

You are right, there would have been a couple more show if it had been easier to get to, like at Gateway. But, I think being Sunday morning hurt a little, and being across town, and not having the extra day to travel (like on a Labor Day weekend), etc. Also, we have to determine if the cruise is a do again, to the same location or otherwise, and guage how much interest there is in the racing itself. I don't think there will ever be enough interested parties to warrant a track rental, like on a Sunday, but we have kicked it around...I for one would go for it, but that's just me![img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

If 12.8s get attention, I like to dance [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion
 

I take it you aren't impressed with 12.8s?

Re: Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion
 

He better be!!

Through the pipes, on skinnies, without traction devices, and cert. stock, now that is impressive.

Re: Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion
 

There are very few cars on the planet that can run in the 12s without headers. Good job Rob - I wish I went to the track this year to see you run.

Re: Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion
 

You bet!!!! Congrats again Rob. You've been trying for years and it could'nt have happened to a better person or at better place. 12's on poly's is a very difficult thing to do. Just ask about 100 people that go to the Pure Stock Drags every year, and the 1500 people that come to watch, just to see it done!
