thanks for posting the info!

time for some more dumb questions:

thursday also has registration and tech, why?

are the entry fees due when I sign up online, or when I get to the track?

can I do this on my own, or do I really need to drag a friend along?

also, gateway has a no tent camping policy, and Im too cheap (or possibly broke) for a hotel. If I sleep in the tow rig, are there showers, etc available at the facility, or should I go to a hotel?
Another problem I see with going to a cheap hotel in st louis is the fact that a racecar on an open trailer might attract the wrong sort of attention in the parking lot while im sleeping, or is that just paranoia speaking?

Also do I need to obtain a permanent number for my car?
