(Drag Strip Partnership for Second Straight Year with Track)
Madison, IL - The Championship Drag Strip at Gateway International Raceway announced a
partnership for the second consecutive year with Wise Speed Shop of St. Louis, MO.
Wise Speed Shop has specialized in helping local area dragracers since its inception in 1961 by
the late Funny Car Racer/Owner Dave Wise. They specialize in hard to find items and parts for
the hardcore dragracer. Wise Speed Shop features a knowledgeable and customer service
friendly staff that can advise anyone about achieving their dragracing goals. They are a
warehouse distributor and mail order business that is in the know.
"The biggest thing we have going is the guys working the counter," said current Wise Speed
Shop owner and proprietor Gina Meredith. "Our staff is made up of experienced racers who
know what they are talking about. When you buy a part, they'll tell you whether it's going to
work on your motor instead of just saying, 'Yeah, we got that part.' That is what happens with
most mail order operations."
