Another Gateway Dirt Nationals Question....sorry guys...

[DarrellGoode]

I know there are a lot of threads posted. Well here is another one. I have not seen on their website nor facebook page about what time doors open for fans? Don't want my son and I to be standing out there in the cold for hours waiting for it to open. Any info is appreciated.

I think they said somewhere around 3 pm

[DarrellGoode]

But that is when hot laps start. Surely that can't be right.

[calverton]

that's what they are saying and no hot laps thurs

All I know pit gates open at 1 pm

That is a bunch of crap if they open the doors right when it starts. People paid a lot of money and we want to see everything. I'll have an angry kid with me.

[calverton]

it will be ok

[CIRF]

it will be ok

Like we should all take comfort in what a fool like you says. LOL!!

[calverton]

better than some jack meat knocking down the event and it has not even begun now that's being foolish is if the men that's putting it on says it will be great it will I 've known one of them and their family for many a year

Ok I just got off the phone with the Dome At America's Center. They say doors will open at 2:30 all 3 days. That gives you 30 min to get in there and get your seat. Certainly not the typical dirt track that opens gates a couple of hrs before the event. But like they have said from the beginning, this will not be your typical event. I'm looking forward to getting there Friday!

And like a typical event, I'm sure they'll be running behind so you should have plenty of time.

Thanks for doing the leg work and posting the info, DG.

2:30 PM opening time will give us some time to look around The Landing and get some lunch and a couple of beers.

See ya'll Friday!

[DarrellGoode]

I'm sure you are correct. It probably won't start right at 3:00. So in this case, that will be a good thing! And you are welcome CIRF!
