Never been to Madison, but I have heard it's in a Bad area! Not sure what it holds crowdwise to other tracks, but the crowds look decent!
Gateway International Raceway.. Not a Bruton Smith Track- But not a DUMP!! It kind of reminds me of Virginia Motorsports Park. All the Pitting and Parking is one one side. Very small facility-menaing you do not have to do a lot of walking. The down side is that spectator parking is $25.00 for EACH DAY!!! If you can get past the Garbage Dump on the left side of the track it's OK! The St. Louis Airport is about 40 minutes from the track lots of hotels in the area. Very easy to find and get to. Doing the MTS (Mail From Home) Kiosk I encounter a lot of racing fans. The people in the Mid-West were some if not the FRIENDLIEST!!! Great people!! For a lot of them it's the NHRA National Event they get to attend!!!
It's next door to East St Louis Illinois, for many years it was the murder capital of the United States...I don't recall anything around there at that time as a "bad area"...

Somebody must of got hosed. I only paid $15 a day for parking Mark, what day(s) were you at the race? I spoke to a lot of INDIVUDALS and they were all paying $25.00 a day to park!!! HMMMMM??????
We got spoiled not paying for parking in Topeka all these years. Now they gouge you also. I guess they have to pay for that 200 miles of chain link fencing somehow.
Went all 3 days - $45 when I ordered my tickets. Maybe that's the advance price. A bunch of us from work would go every year & a coworker would order the tickets so we would all sit together. Him & his family didn't go this year so I ordered the tickets.

From what i've heard what they charge for parking at the new Cowboy Stadium I guess I should feel lucky.
We didn't pay for parking at Topeka this year.
