Gateway would be great, however their lease ran up last November and they haven't found anyone to take over.

worst part about that facility is that 90% of the property was being leased by a primary owner. and no one wants to lease out a track, they want to buy it all, but the top owner wants to lease.

What a waste of a good track and facility. Now I have to drive close to 4 hours for the closest Quarter mile strip!

Our pleasure!

Part of the cool thing about the fest is that we try to bring it spot where everyone gets at least a chance to go.

We really don't know if in the future we'll keep moving it or settle in to a two or three track rotation.

Or possibly just a single track??? it's all up in the air right now. But as of now we are doing what we can to bring the fest to a different part of the country.

A rotation would be good to give everyone a better opportunity to participate at some point. Like an east coast, mid-nation, and west coast type deal.
