The Metro St. Louis Quarter Midget Racing Association in Bunker Hill, IL is also rained out.
The only group that appears to still be racing is the St. Louis Region Solo (autocross) folks at Gateway for a rare evening (under the lights) event. The solo event is held on the drag strip parking lot.
Here's the details if you're interested.......this event does benefit a charity and everyone is invited to watch the fireworks.
THE "OH SAY CAN YOU SEE SOLO FOR NICHOLAS"
SATURDAY JULY 4TH at Gateway Raceway
REGISTRATION OPENS AT 3PM - 1ST CAR OFF 5PM
FIREWORKS AT APPROX. 9:30PM AND FUN RUNS AFTER FIREWORKS
Best seats in the area for the Arch Fireworks - better parking - no crowds - great view
The STL Solo Program is donating $1.00 per entry to the charity and providing the beverages and watermelon. All fun run money and auction proceeds go to the charity. If you have anything to donate for the silent auction let us know
Nicholas was the son/brother of two of our solo friends, Tom and Sara Sotiropoulos. The 4th of July "OH SAY CAN YOU SEE - SOLO FOR NICHOLAS" Event is a charity event in his honor. Tom told us that there were several charities that were so good to Nicholas and the family during all the years that Nicholas bravely battled childhood cancer that we thought that the St. Louis Solo Community would try to help those who helped them with some charity efforts. Tom was sure that Nicholas would have loved a Solo Event, as he knew how much his dad and sister love chasing those cones with us.
Many really neat items have already donated for a silent auction. We have items from Build-A-Bear, RIDEMAKERZ and Gateway Raceway plus many die cast cars donated by Kyle Langley.
