Yee Haw! Somebody bought our track

As some may know Gateway International Raceway closed it's doors last year. Someone has bought it and looks like it'll be open again next year. They've already secured NHRA events so that's a pretty good sign this ain't a rumor (like the last one). Here's a local news article

That's great. At least they are gonna keep the track going. Lots of times you see tracks close down and housing projects or apartments go up.

Yep. Man am I glad. The next closest track is over 100 miles away. Gateway is only about 40 miles from me.
