I was very happy when the racing was over and I could actually leave race control. The evening weather was absolutely perfect and I had a GREAT time moving from party to party in the pits. If I had accepted every beer, brat, porksteak, beer, hamburger, hot dog, beer, rib, and beer I was offered, I would be in the hospital for sure! I'm going to look into having an RV for the weekend in the future so I can stay at the track instead of a hotel. The pit area is THE place to be Friday and Saturday night. NSS guys.......... WOW

Would have loved to have made it. Either the coil or MSD box crapped out while loading the car. And your correct, the pit's are where you want to stay. Any after hour staging lane golf cart races this year?

I wasn't there with my own car, but I was helping my friend Clint in the 101/2" class. I drove up from Florida ,and I caught the drag racing fever once again... Now I'm on the road to getting my car going once again... Look Out, Coming To. Track near you

I really loved the beautifully painted, fantastically engineered, and finely tuned, (old school) Chevy Nova exhibition car
I don't know how that ride made it past tech @ Gateway.

That's a really good question. It had grade 2 fasteners holding the front axle in. I guess grade 5 were too expensive.
What did I enjoy most about MMW St.Louis? Racing, watching racing and hanging out with friends that were racing.
You and Kayse must have made 20+ passes on Thursday night. Everytime I turned around, you 2 were going up the staging lanes. I'm glad to see more of my friends on the drag strip side of the event. Even Wayne was out there with his '71 GTX making a few passes.
I did not even have a chance to check out the swap meet and was in the show area for maybe 45 minutes tops. Kinda sad considering I was on the property all 4 days, but with running 2 different classes, sorting out the new combo on the '64, and helping friends, it was hard to get away. That's OK though...we all had a blast and I'm glad Gateway is open again.
