Since you mentioned Gateway, I'm still a bit confused about the whole thing. Just last week, I see that the ADRL has booked a race there for next year.

Problem is, I live in the St. Louis area and even with keeping an eye peeled have yet to see any announcement that anything is concrete about the track reopening.

A while back the new owner was named, but the last stories I saw referred to him negotiating with the various owners of the site along with trying to work out a plan to pay back taxes owed to the State of Ilinois. I've never seen anything that papers were signed or that the project is a go.

I guess I'm just surprised that so many people seem to be committing to a track that doesn't seem to be a sure thing yet.

As for the new track out I70, I wish them the best in getting it up, running, and successful.
