Tuesday, August 24, 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 25, 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 27, 2004, E.T. (Elapsed Time) Bracket Racing/Midnight Madness: 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). In addition, this is the final running of Midnight Madness, the off-shoot
program of Tuesday's Street Legal Grudge Racing program. Midnight Madness is designed to
give the youth of our community a safe, legal venue to race their cars at the very time of night
they might normally be racing illegally on the streets but without fear of legal repercussions or
danger to others. Midnight Madness is a celebration of the night that includes pre-race and in-race
concerts starring the popular local band "Driver", a motorcycle stunt exhibition by the St. Louis
Streetfighterz and a Jeep Club stunt exhibition. Gates open at 4:30pm with time trials at 6:00pm
and eliminations at 7:30pm for Bracket Racing. Gates will open for Midnight Madness at
approximately 11:00pm, following the completion of the earlier Friday program, and grudge
racing continues until 5:00am.

Saturday, August 28, 2004, E.T. (Elapsed Time) Bracket Racing: 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. Gates open at 1:30pm with time trials at 3:30pm and eliminations at 6:30pm.

If this kind of exciting, edge-of-your-seat 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! ***
