Anyone in St Louis want to head out to gateway in 2 weeks for wide open Wednesday?
Whats the track prep like on a normal test n tune night at STL?

We have only been there on event weekends, where its nearly always been fantastic. We are lucky that Heartland Park usually has really good prep, and SUPER amazing prep the weekend after a big NHRA race.

The track is prepped pretty well from what the other racers tell me. I would guess the track will do very well this week as it was NHRA this past weekend I think

My best times were coming out around 3500 rpms. The car leaves better spinning off the line. i was able to get it to go 12.2 when it was pretty hot out. All traction systems off of course.
