OK, you can see something real is happening. Better get those cars ready, you only have several months. It will be time before you know it.

I don't know if this is a rumor or not . Heard the ground up asphalt will be used for parking at MARP going green over the corn stalks .

haha, as happy as I am to see progress updates on gateway, wth with the video.
it's like "yeah were grinding up asphalt, whats that you want to see it in slow motion alright, how bout some heavy metal music to really get you into see asphalt getting ground up" don't get me wrong I'm a rocker without doubt and I like videos with effects, but a some simple pics would have worked. lol

The race track is sold, no longer leased, no land leases and they have a 5 year deal with NHRA. Track and land sale went through end of sept or early oct. It would be real hard for mar park to secure any nhra events. This came from a reliable source with big bucks that was trying to purchase gateway but walked away because everytime they came to the table a new pile of crap was laying in front of them - it was not the moroso bunch ( who don't like to pay bills ) or the ANABI bunch who walked when they where hit with the 99 year lease crap. Taxing was 1 of the big issues and that was corrected after they leased so then they purchased.
