The Spectator

[Russell]

I wish I could be there! I really enjoyed the part of Day one I saw in Bowling Green the other year. I wonder if there would be enough spectators who wanted to race to keep the track open for a test and tune after the race was over. I know when I go to the track I itch to make a pass or 10

Gateway posted their schedule of events for Monday. I though the driver's meeting/intro took a bit longer before actual cars hit the track, but then I've never attended the opening day.

8:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.: Racing begins for all classes other than Street Machine Eliminator

2 p.m. - Participants hit the road for their next stop and YOU go back to work and claim you had a doctor's appointment. Tell your boss the doc told you to come back on Friday afternoon to get the results of your tests. (Play along with it and you will be able to attend all of the Hot Rod Drag Week events).
