You have been asking for info, so here is some! 
)
The NEW GMP Website is now up (http://www.gatewaymsp.com/) and the current schedule posted.
(http://www.gatewaymsp.com/events/) The Schedule is not yet complete as noted by no GMP or STLSCCA "Track Day" (PDX) listed, and other events not yet finalized; but is as correct as possible at this date. Many "old" events, as well as some new ones, will come to play at Gateway this year. Some worthy notes are below.
Saturday March 2 is shown as the "Volunteer Day" and as last year it is an effort to help get the track ready for this years events. Participants cross all lines of clubs, groups, and racing interests to mow, weed eat, paint, pick up trash, etc.. More info will be posted soon.
Saturday, March 9 will be the "Gateway Kick-Off", or open house, and is likely to include racers and activities by many groups who call GMP home. Again, more information will posted soon about this event as well.
NASA will kick off Road Racing this year with their event on March 23/24. Follow their website for additional information at http://www.nasaproracing.com/
SCCA Road Racing will make it's return to Gateway on April 20/21. More info on this, and all other STL SCCA activities will be found at http://www.stlscca.org/
June 1 will see the return of USAC Silver Crown racing to GMP. Many think they have been the best racing to watch before at GMP, with lead changes on many laps and even several on a single lap! Last year's testing event had them hitting over 200 mph on the OVAL.
July 17-20 belongs to the return of Run 'n Gun activities. These are primarily "kit cars" and will include Road Course, Parking Lot, and Drag Strip competitions.
September 21/22 endurance racers of CHUMP CAR will be back on a (hopefully) cooler date. Format of twin 14 hour events or a full single event of 24 hours has yet to be determined. This is a great event for those interested, and last year there were only seconds determining some results even after that many hours!
September 26-29 is the big NHRA show. If you have never seen the "big ones" race in person - you REALLY need to! Even those not interested in drag racing (or even racing at all!) will be amazed by the speed and acceleration of these racers. Bring ear plugs, and turn off your car alarm.
There are many more listed, motorcycles, go-karts, "XDRL", 3000GT, "XTreme XPerience", drifters, Porsche, BMW, etc. and others are still possible too. Tune in, sign-up, and stay informed on the GMP website and FaceBook pages!
