A past post on here said to look for a huge anouncement by years end about gateway raceway. Has anyone heard anything yet?

News of closure was 3 days after last race. Maybe there's a pattern? One could only hope.


Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

MoparChas is right! Suppose to be this month January. You might be thinking about the other track MAR that was planning on being built. At this time that project has been put on hold. There was going to be news about it on Dec 24th but the only news about it came out the 23rd in which it was put on hold. MAR that is! I think that Midstate (Havana) is going on the auction block (courthouse steps) Janaury or February?

as of this week-several people have looked/inquired(these people have lots of money)but since st.clair county is not co-operating (60 ft mark south in st.clair co.,60 ft north in madison co.)tif district has become more involved and are negotiating w/land owners for their part of
property-pretty big firedrill still-supposedly 2 owners have agreed on price but 2 still holding out-may be 30 days,180 days or ??? from now.
1 guy wants to bulldoze oval(hurray for him)for parking.havana to highest bidder after bankruptcy sign off.heard 300k to 500k for entire setup.

st clair co is owed 0 dollars, they dont care
as for city of madison
they hold some monie (bonds)
dont really care except for the pay backs on tickets (2.00$)
state of ill was paid 9.8 mil in nov
tax payment see state of ill .gov ref tax
as for owners that is still dover
as for lease it will always be leased, ground until
who knows
150 ac is owned by dover outright, see st clair county
land map
once again rumors abound
only way for gateway to reopen is a sale from dover to others
dover will not reopen it
as for adrl?? who knows , be good match up for them!!
as for the others, who i know, yes they have the abillity
as a team
but i do believe that some how
that the price paid for memphis will dictate the
price of gateway,
memphis was a steal considering the cost to build such a track
as for havana ,, midstate,, the gavel is suppose to fall
jan 13 at 10;30 a/m over 351.0000 was owed , see what
that fetches ,, i say under 200.0000
as for mar park , only word is its at a stalled state??
in the mean time cole co is my closes track
until something else arrives

Gebhardt's did try and fix the place up some, but no matter what it is still built in a sand pit. Didn't the ex wife get the track in a divorce settlement? She may wish she had a better lawyer.

CC wasn't too bad last time I was there. I have a bunch of friends who race there and are pretty happy.
