There's plenty to do and you are among Friends.
Thursday:
Is early arrival day and one of the best behind the scenes get acquainted days.

Friday:
Dragracing at Gateway from 9-4ish,(we get there at 8AM to watch them all unload the machines),and either sit & watch in the grandstands or peek inside the trailers to see who's underneath the cars.There is always a Crowd at the Starting line as well.
Then over to the Convention/Hotel center to watch & help all the cars pull in & clean up,while they set up & display.
Always a cold beer somewhere near,with a crowd gathered around anyone of the trailers,for some informal Bench Racing..
Afterwards,head over to the Banquet Hall for Cocktails & Dinner around 7PM,with on going raffle numbers being drawn for door prizes throughout the evening.Then a guest speaker or two,or three to surprise us all.(note:we need a Video Camera to Document these guys)
After all this it's around 10PM & you can check in for the evening,or watch Kim H. show us all what he is really made of,or thinks he is..

Saturday:
Have Breakfast at Host Hotel,and then head over to the outdoor Carshow while entering into the Indoor SuperCar show.Bring your camera & a Note pad,as there is always something you want to remember,or wish you did later.
Cjoes memorabila display alone can take hours to absorb.
Then as the day narrows down,there is a gathering of spectators at the exit to watch the cars pullout & load,as well as the traditional baptising of the Pavement.

And lastly..where else can a Father reunite with his long lost Son.

.......Musclcar. Don't feel weird about coming to a show where you haven't met anyone. We will have stickers set out for name tags at the show and it is like family. Evenings are warm and there is alot of hanging out in the parking lot with a occasional burnout. Everyone is welcome and bringing or owning a car is not required. You might even get a ride in one over to the drags. If you like these cars, you will have fun.

[Charley Lillard]

Musclcar...You can book Southwest Airlines right now round trip to St Louis from Sacramento for 254.00

A small transportation problem exists for those flying in. There is no reasonably priced bus/van service between the St Louis airport and Collinsville. This usually neccessates renting a car, which more than likely will sit, until you return to airport.
Hopefully this forum will serve as a meeting place for those flying in to coordinate some common transportation.....
