It was great to see my hometown track come alive again for a weekend, and many of the people who made it happen are on here, so, THANK YOU. It wasn't that long ago that I won an uncontested race at Gateway now known as Worldwide Technology Raceway; uncontested because I was the only Spec Racer running.
To everyone who showed up and made this event the biggest Gateway Spec Racer turnout since
I-Don't-Know-When, to the CSR's and crew who made the trek to an unfamiliar track with a reputation for being tough on equipment, everyone who made an effort to still do racecar stuff in spite of the craziness we are all living through, THANK YOU.
I could tell just from walking around the paddock and talking to some of our local race volunteers that this was a MASSIVE morale boost and a shot in the arm the Southern Illinois and St. Louis regions really needed. SRF's made up 15% of the total entries and helped fill the paddock to literally overflowing out behind the stands, a sight I've never seen before since I got my license at the Double School at Gateway coming up on 16 years ago. You guys did that. Thank you.
