Of all the events that week only one is in ST Louis, MO (gokarts) All the rest are in IL. Track is in Madison, IL (neigobors East STL) the banquet is in collinsville, Il and the Car show is in Alton, Il
But unless you spend the week in the parking lot at the hotel you'll probably end up in STL, mo on several occasions.
East side...... Different
It is all in the metro area, so not really a big deal. And for those that are not familiar with the area you can be reassured that all our events are not in bad parts of the area. We will not be in East St. Louis or Washington Park.Quote:

So Sauget and Washington park are the areas you want to avoid?
Mike and were just talking about this the other night.
We wondered off in a bad part of Memphis by accident one year.
I don't want to do that again. :unsure:
No kidding, it can be hard to miss the bad part of town in Memphis unless you stay on the interstate lolQuote:

The track is right off of the highway and is a straight shot down the highway from the hotel, so travel to and from the track will be a piece of cake. And when heading into St. Louis for sight seeing or go karts you just stay on the highway until you cross the river.
Also if you want to go somewhere and have questions feel free to ask a local, we will gladly help.
The STL group had a similar issue with passing an exit and winding up in a questionable part of Memphis on the way to the car show in 08. So I feel you on the high tension city tour thing.
Yea that was a "fun" little detour.Quote:
