that is awesome.
So I'm guessing there was a large turnout. Why one payout?

Which is not uncommon. Try racing at I-57. Big moneys there never finish before 4:00 am that I have attended. We had fun. Lots of Gateway regulars there. |

No need for that late of night with that few of cars . The event should not take over 8 hours total. IMO

It's not like WWT is perfect - I remember going all the way to I-57 , standing in the winner Circle pictures and on the way home passing Gateway still running a regular bracket race at 3am It's ok to be a Gateway homer but it is also ok to like other tracks |

Bonne terra has some good points . Probably the best looking consession stand chick at any track . They have no time breaks , so I can easily run all three classes in my slow car and definitely am not rushed , three weeks ago I ran all three and remember waiting at the front of the empty lanes Begging for the next class to be called. But if I owned a drag strip It wouldn’t take me long to figure out why My show takes so long . I like plenty of tracks other than gateway. Iv been to plenty from Pomona to palm beach and most of the little dumps in between. They are like sex and pizza . Even when it’s bad it’s still good !

Thanks Jason! It was a marathon, but we had a blast. 114 entries with 2 rounds of buy backs. That may have been the biggest car count they have had. The dew was so thick that the ground got muddy. Even so, cars seemed to still be making it down the track. I was glad I brought the slow car though.
