Gee it seems like it will be crowded in that area. The oval area was nice I wonder why the change?

Being a spectator and racer about equally for the past ten years, I think I can say from experience that this should still be okay (maybe even better).

The problem with the swap meet in the oval was the long walking distance to get to the show and swap meet in the oval. Drag racers cannot leave the pits for too long or they might miss the class call in the time it takes to walk over and back, and everyone knows that time trials are at a premium at MMW. For spectators to get to the oval track area they had to walk in a huge U just to get there. Now the swap meet and car show will be closer to the spectator parking area, making the whole experience better for the spectators. This does make it very hard for racers to get to the swap meet (no harder than the long walk though) and getting parts back to the pits either over the bridge or through staging will be a royal pain in the A$$.

But yes, Gateway has had more than thier fair share of screw ups for this event, too. Remember when the new track opened and they had only one concession stand? I remember waiting in line for about 45 minutes!!

Hope to see you there!!
