Madison, IL - Team Gateway's Division 3 E.T. Finals team traveled to Indianapolis Raceway Park this past
weekend with their first team championship and individual divisional championships on their minds.
Team Gateway won the coveted team championship, topping the 19 other NHRA member tracks that competed
in the event. The team championship was the first for the Madison, IL track.
The team was led by David Gamber (Fenton, MO), who won the Division 3 Sportsman Championship. Gamber,
a Gateway weekly racing series regular, who finished seventh in the Street E.T. class, will represent Gateway
and Division 3 at the Summit Racing Series National Finals at Pomona Raceway in Pomona, California.
Gateway's Jr. Team also had an impressive showing just one week after their impressive run at the Jr.
Divisionals in Terre Haute. Team Gateway once again dominated the 8-9 year old division, as Chris Lidy
(Dietrich, IL) won the Race of Champions over 2005 Division 3 Champion Kelsey Beimfohr (Edwardsville, IL),
both members of Team Gateway. Another Gateway regular Jennifer "Jo" Costello (Carlinville, Ill) won the 10-
13 year old Race of Champions, although she was competing for rival Mid-State Dragstrip. Gateway's Junior
team accumulated the second-most points for the event.
Team Gateway member Dave Demsko (St. Louis, MO) took home the honor of having the Sportsman BE COOL
Radiators Coolest Car of the Event, while Team Gateway member James Bouckaert (Arnold, MO) won the
Sportsman Dialing for Dollars Award when he ran 13.160 dead-on.
