I really liked the track and the hospitality of Hastings was very much appreciated. I love going to St. Louis but this year was absent of the constant nudging of the Gateway staff to make more money, sell more shirts, charge spectators, etc. The lambasting of the entire field by one of the Gateway staff for one persons mistake was missing. In short if the location catches on this will be a great event next year because Run N Gun is wanted in Hastings, Nebraska. We had 33 paid participants and everyone that I talked to was looking forward to next year because of the new 2.18 mile track, the generous run offs, and total atmosphere of the event was more enjoyable.

What I missed was the garages but at most road courses we don't have no stinkin garages. The other thing I missed was that St. Louis is a bit closer for me but not enough for me to complain about. Wife and I got a lot of one on one conversation which we never seem to have time to do in our daily lives. Next year will be better and bigger. Some really good idea's have emerged from some of our regulars.
