Gateway Int'l Speedway - Tuesday's

Gateway International Speedway opened up this weekend with the beginning of spring. I say we get a bunch together and head up some Tuesday night for 1/4 miles drags.

http://www.gatewayraceway.com/schedule.html

I believe it's $15 per car. It's open from 6-10pm and you can get as many runs in as you get in line for! From what I hear, it's a pretty fun atmosphere.

Always a fun time to beat down some F-body's, Rustangs, and a few Slow-barus.

I'm interested, but my car is currently missing a wheel. Hopefully I should have it back next week. Did you know that our rear supsension has something like 5 links per side that are around $200 a piece? Makes me sick just thinking about it.

It would be neat to come in together. Where would you propose? I know of a couple places just a few miles East of the track. I think there's a few fastfood places and a Mexican place named Ramone's. Good margaritas, but we'd better stay away from those for the track!

jerastan and I are going to meet up at Ramone's at 5pm before going to Gateway. Ramone's is a Mexican restaurant just a few miles East of the track right where the road splits. We're going to grab a quick something to eat, try to stay off the margaritas, and head to the track together.

If anyone wants to meet us up there, please do! It would be pretty **** to stroll into Gateway with multiple Evo's!!

If anyone needs directions let us know!
