2022 Gateway Classic Championship
Event Information
The Event
St. Louis, Missouri is the site of the 2nd Annual Gateway Classic. Dirtburners, one of the most competitive and active 1/8th off-road tracks in the country provides the setting and host track to one of the most anticipated yearly races in the region. Battle the best of the Midwest while being outdoors where the action is hot and heavy. Our facility is completely rebuilt and brand new for this year's Gateway Classic. Major updates include a new drivers stand, lighting, sound system, electrical infrastructure, fence and barriers.
What to Expect
- Awards will be given to TQ and Top 3 of each class.
- Minimum 10 entries are required to form a new class not already listed in the race flyer.
- Drivers must have NO sponsors to be eligible for Independent classes.
- Heats will be re-sorted after Qualifier Rounds 1 & 2.
- Personal transponders are required. (All except black MRT transponders are compatible)
- A new professionally designed & built track layout will be installed specifically for the Gateway Classic Championship.
- Pending weather, track will be ran dry. Historically, we have found the surface forms a dark groove with enhanced traction.
The Facility
Our world class outdoor facility has a large 100ft x 200ft track and a 24ft x 76ft driver's stand, which includes fans, an integrated timing office and pit area outfitted with a monitor to promote team race awareness during intense nitro mains. In addition, Dirtburners offers ADA amenities such as handicap parking, 90 foot long wheelchair access ramp and a wheelchair compatible drivers stand. Please reach out to Dirtburners on our Facebook page or the contact # for RV and trailer parking.
