As a young fella, I literally grew up 10 min. from Gateway Raceway, and have very vivid memories of these cars...we used to ride our bicycles out there and sneak in the back way and watch through the fence...lol

The first time I went to Gateway was about 1968... here's some pics from the early 80's of there:

Yep...thats the old track..used to run from north to south, you didnt see that type of car out there very often in the old days..the track was terrible!!

LOL!!! Force called it "The Swamp". There was a swamp at the south end that sometimes cars would "plop" into if their chutes didn't come out.
