Angry World Wide Technology Raceway / Gateway Hours This weekend

I plan to go test my car this weekend. First time since new AL heads and roller cam upgrade. I can't find the hours anywhere. Does anyone know? Their website information sucks!

The ticket office is open from 9 to 5, you could call them during those hours and ask.

Gateway

Looks like gates open 8am, time trials at 9?
Weather permitting?
Maybe snow covered?

Where did you find that? I saw it for other Saturday races. I assumed this would be the same. But you know what happens when you assume.... Thanks!

Of course, GREAT LAKES DRAGAWAY. Haven't been there since the 90's when "Broadway Bob" had the Pontiac races.

Today would have worked. 55 + degrees plenty of sunshine and a tail wind.
Some days the stars just don't line up.
I just added plenty of antifreeze, battery tender, put car in trailer, put trailer in shed till March.

Mite have to get one of my street cars out for a HP FIX.
