Apparently not . Look how they are roasting the bonne terra guy on his Facebook page . Asking if 1st place is the only garenteed spot ? Is that spot even garenteed? How do the bye runs work , is it going to be a late night marathon? And no straight answers from the owner. Facebook is the demise of businesses. The government thing isn’t a cop out . CCD is a different animal and can choose to go rouge sink or swim mentality . Gateway has to much to loose NHRA, indycar ect, imagine them getting thier liquor license pulled trying to be like CCD , to much to loose

I think WWTR has done a good job in putting together some race filled weekends.
For me, I'm not ready to race and look forward to an "affordable" test and tune, before I sign up for raceday.
I suppose the cost of racing has gone up and that's the new reality. I just haven't yet decided how much I'm willing to spend to go racing. I'm sort of a fare weather racer
I agree, there is a big difference between Bonne Terre and WWTR. I like Bonne Terre but I feel alot safer WWTR and for me, I'll pay more for the safety margin, plus WWTR is closer.
that's my two cents.

I don't think people are having an issue with how Gateway is trying to run it. They don't like the "extra" fees thrown in. Like what is posted
"First single-day single entry $100($50 restricted via Pitpay app + $100 entry = $150 race entry total)"
What is the $50 restricted via pitpay app about? I know the CDC and Illinois isn't making them charge that

Until further notice Illinois sucks. I'll stay over here until they get back to normal.

I will not pay 600 plus buybacks to double enter two races that will pay 3k to win each and will not wear a mask in the staging lanes.... you can double enter a race that pays 10/20/10 in two weeks for 700 and not have all the crazy rules and requirements

Yep it sucks . I’m a homer so I will run it . It definitely won’t be as fun as usual. Half of the fun is social closeness for me I like having a beverage and B.S ing you idiots I call my friends and racing family

I am a die hard Gateway racer and have been for many years, but I will not go and support a race that cost $150 to enter for the payout they have set. Heck the so called shootout race has a 10x better payout structure than the main race and I could possibly go for that, but not the main race. They should have just went forward with a 2 day regular points race like he originally planned on. I understand we are all dying to go race and its close to home, but the racers cannot win on this event. If nobody shows up, it will be blamed on the bracket racers, and if they get over 100 entries, be prepared for more terrible structured events like this one! I can't for the life of me imagine someone double entering at this deal, but I'm sure someone will and that is just plain crazy! Races like this, is what will push me to sell my s**t and go fishing!

Mo Kan has the same basic race next weekend 5k for $150 Nice to try and justify by comparing to another crappy race, but the races are not even close in payout if you look at the flyer again. Their race pays waaaaaay more from runner up, to paying back further, and to also paying contingency money to win and runner up. The races are not even close buddy!

[/quote) So now PIT PAY has my information and I DON'T NEED IT BUT I paid the $111.50. I'm very concerned about identity theft from this fly by night app. People wonder why we get frustrated with them. I was also told we will not get our pit sites because of social distancing. REALLY?
