Gateway International Raceway Review

Glad to see they're doing good extremely disappointed that there's no free parking

As usual we had a good time. HOWEVER it took a long time to get in the spectator parking lot. I initially thought it was soo slow because you had to pay for parking before you parked, but that want the issue. I really don't know what the problem was.

The drag strip has plenty of space in the pits, a very good surface and seems to be well maintained.

The midway isn't great. The track is short. If a race is happening it can be good. If the race is delayed, good luck staying entertained.

Bathrooms are convenient! Variety of food and drink.

Lots of upgrades. Purchase a parking pass to save on long walks.

What an awesome place to experience world class racing of all types!

Very nice my only thoughts would be the long wait that you have to get into the main part that you can have a little something for people look at as you're driving through. My granddaughter who the three-year-old was very impatient with the 45-minute wait to get into the lights

Had fun. Wish the car wasn't having problems but qualified this morning.

Love our local track. Go multiple times during summer.

Was a fun experience. It had a lot of cool races. I would definitely recommend going if you like seeing some cool cars show off their power

Absolutely love Wide Open Wednesday. We are fortunate to have such a nice venue in Saint Louis Metro

2020 light show ... fantastic but a very long wait, make sure you have a full tank of gas before you get in line. Wait can be 45min to 2hr

P.s. the wait is worth it!! Great show

Easy to get to and its surprisingly clean. However getting back to STL with the constant construction is troublesome

This dragstrip is awesome I would recommend to anyone!

Parking is a nightmare, especially for the handicapped parking. They did have shuttles in place but not enough. The drag strip is one of the best I've been to.

Met the cast of street outlaws got. Been a bit pricey the last few times I've gone but always fun. Being able to park "track side" makes or breaks the experience but there is no way to know if it's an option.

Went to the indy race 2018. Fun exciting and easy in and out.

Great service and friendly staff I would just recommend taking your own drinks in snacks in somehow prices are outrages

The racing was great, but they have no clue what they're doing in moving people, parking cars, emptying parking lots, checking bags and tickets, supplying concessions, stocking bathrooms, removing trash, or powering loudspeakers to hear announcers.... Basically, the racing that IndyCar put on was great, the facility needs some serious work.

Midnight Madness is a blast! Gearheads belong here!

Did the Terrain Run here and used to go for the car racing. Fun place for some different action.

Midnight madness is awesome. Great time, fun for the entire evening only $20

I was there for the Indy Car race. They put on a great show. Overall a very fun place.

I don't have too many raceways to compare it to, but it's not too bad! Although will call is across the street in what appears to be an old Burger King. It looks a little run-down and weird.

This raceway isn't terribly fancy or new. But I do appreciate that there are actual bathrooms here, so you don't have to deal with port-o-potties.

Awesome venue! It is wheelchair accessible, but the gravel paths to the bathrooms are a bit challenging. Great for all ages! And you can even get free stuff!

I paid $300 for finish line club for me and my kids plus $180 plus service fees. The finish line club said beer was included from noon on, but no, it was $8 a bottle! And the food was a joke! I guarentee i won't do that again!! MAJOR RIP OFF! i promise everybody that ask me about is going to know how bad a rip off that is!!

Holiday lights display... unique and worth the wait!

Love drag racing & car scene, but can t really expect much from the people that work here. Their website poorly outlines the rules & tells you to go read the rules on NHRA s website (they tell you to do the same thing even when you specifically ask them a rule).
Last time I was at the strip, one of the girls working tried to pass me in oncoming lanes of traffic, then later she nearly didn t let me race because I cut her off and caused her to be late. I was following all rules of the road and she was only able to pass me once we were further into the facility.

Road course is pure garbage. I fail to see why anyone would rent that s*** hole

We too a car in to test and drive Larry williams did a good job

The rebirth of gateway has been awesome. Great events and a great staf!

Lovely track, great experience. Only thing I can ask for is folks knowing where everything is going to be.

Love that they brought back Indy car racing. Not much accommodation for camping. No electricity. No water hook up. Had to pay to get water for $75 they need to change that. Only 50 spots for camping. At night it was not lit very well either. Not sure I be back

My family dressed warm and we prepared for the races, drove 45 minutes to get there, and a toothless guy at the gate, after carrying on with another guy for several minutes while we waited, told us the races were over for the day. The Jet Cars were to be on at 9:30pm with several shipped before then... We arrived before 6pm. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED! We won't attempt again. This guy sounded incredibly uneducated and kept trying to tell me about tomorrow, which we couldn't and wouldn't attend. I told him several times we weren't interested and eventually I just asked my husband to drive off.

First time there, took 3 of my daughter's. It was awesome.

The light show was awesome. I was concerned about the price at first but it was well worth it. Great job. Looking forward to an even bigger show next year.

All of the events that are held here are always great. Wether it's a drift event, a drag event or even a car show. They are always amazing turnouts!

DO NOT BRING YOUR STREET TIRE CAR HERE. After coming here to race several times in the past I was disappointed to find that they no longer allow street cars to launch in the groove. I did not find this out until I was next in line after the big tire cars were done and they coned off the starting line forcing me to start against the outside wall. After several attempts to pedal the car into going straight I finally gave up as it would not happen, I nearly clipped the left wall as well as crossed the center line. They did not advertise the fact at all that street tire cars had to start on the outside of each lane and would not even provide a partial refund. Tech inspection is also a joke. For a NHRA sanctioned track you figured tech would at least want to pop the hood or trunk or require people to wear helmets, fire jackets, close toed shoes or even jeans. Save your money or find another place to race.

Good parking and easy to navigate. Don't wear heels though because there is gravel.

Always a great time. The grounds are always well kept. Everyone is on top of safety and keeping things picked up.
