WELL the p b i r group, ie moroso group been tring to get it
bought but no major announcement as yet
it is really hard to say
best bet yes it will set,
until a buyer is found ,we may get lucky like memphis did
lets hope so,
this has been a very debated deal for everyone around this area , with rumors, best guess , postings of(a joke) fake purchases,
the other track that has been talked about is M A R PARK,
this too has been beat to death as to wheather it will or wont be
built in ,mid mo. personaly ,, i think it has a better chance to
become reality than that of gateways future!
but it is a wait n see, try to be positive, that something great will happen with one or both tracks ,
as for me i will run at coles county, they are closes to me
hour half away, as for everyone else will chose which track they need to support this year and see what shakes out as the year progresses ,

NO Gateway this year, it will sit idle for one year. There is a group of investors interested in it, but nothing will happen til after it sits idle. The deal at Memphis was actually worked out before the auction, but since it was already scheduled, it took place. PBIR is looking to expand their midwest presence, and there may be more aquisitions happening. Could be that IHRA is finally getting the expansion they were hoping to get over 10 years ago.
