Gateway has been through a lot of changes and even more owners. For me, it's a very bright spot in light of what's happening to so many other tracks.

I had never heard of the present owner when he took over, but can't be more impressed. Previously, there was never any local coverage for major events. Now all the outlets are doing prerace stories and coverage during. And the track seems to be consistently high level prep. It looks like he hired excellent staff from top to bottom.

But probably the most significant change (and I have no idea how he pulled it off) was getting the event moved out of the blazing heat of the summer into its present position. Seems like he managed to get everything put into the best possible place.
