Tuesday, August 10, 2004, Street Legal Grudge Racing: Street Legal Grudge Racing features
street legal cars with street tires only, racing for love of the sport, not money! This gives those
who might otherwise race illegally on the street a safe, legal venue to race their cars against their
friends at high speeds without fear of legal repercussions or danger to others. Gates open at
5:00pm with runs from 5:30pm to 10:30pm.

Wednesday, August 11, 2004, Slick Tire Test and Tune: Slick Tire Test and Tune includes
cars, motorcycles and Junior Dragsters with slick tires or D.O.T. slicks doing just what the event
title says, testing their vehicles and making the adjustments to push them to run faster in the
upcoming money races! Gates open at 5:00pm with runs from 5:30pm to 10:30pm.

Friday, August 13, 2004, E.T. (Elapsed Time) Bracket Racing: The Regular Points program
takes place every Friday night and features Jr. Dragsters, High School, Trophy, Pro Motorcycle
and Street Motorcycle classes running for up to a $500 purse or trophies (depending on the class).
Gates open at 4:30pm with time trials at 6:00pm and eliminations at 7:30pm.

Saturday, August 14, 2004, E.T. (Elapsed Time) Bracket Racing/CMTS Outlaw Pro Mod
Quick 8 Series/NHRA King of the Track Street, Pro, Super Pro Qualifying: The Regular
Points program takes place every Saturday night and features Super Pro, Pro and Street classes
running for up to a $1,200 purse. Also included is the 1/8-Mile Money Race running for a $2,000
prize presented to the night's winner. The CMTS Outlaw Pro Mod Quick 8 Series features cars
that reach 200mph and drivers that throw caution to the wind as they hurtle down the track nearly
out of control trying to push every mph they can out of their modified cars in an effort to win up
to $2,500. The slightest mistake or miscalculation and these guys could end up meeting the wall
at break-neck speeds! Finally, the NHRA King of the Track program is a one-time special event
to take place on September 4 and features a runoff between category winners. The winners of the
Street, Pro and Super Pro categories will be determined tonight and will advance to the finals to
compete against the Motorcycle winner (determined July 9) for a coveted "Wally" trophy and
King of the Track Champion hat. Gates open at 1:30pm with time trials at 3:30pm and
eliminations at 6:30pm.

If this kind of edge-of-your-seat, death-defying motorsports action is what gets your motor going
(and you know who you are!) then visit www.gatewayraceway.com for more information. As
always, spectator admission is only $10.00 and children 12 and under are free for all events.

*** And remember, at Gateway, every ticket is a pit pass! ***
