2016 Street Car Heads Up Class Overview

The 2016 Street Car Heads Up Class is a heads up racing class/series at Gateway Motorsports Park. The class will be populated with street based vehicles that have current license, registation, and tags. A license plate with a current, non-expired tag that matches the registation and VIN is required.

Racing events will occur on select Wednesday nights in conjunction with the Wide Open Wednesday Test & Tune Sessions, and on select Saturdays and on Sunday in conjunction with the Gateway Bracket Point Series. Racers in the class will be called to lanes by the tower, minimizing time waiting in staging lanes.

The class will be a heads up racing format on a .500 Sportsman tree. Two rounds of qualifying will establish a class ladder for elimination rounds. In some races there may be time trial rounds before the two qualifying rounds. All racers who race in at least one round of qualifying are eligible for elimination rounds. The elimination ladder will be set up by either a random hat draw of qualifiers (with top two qualifiers on opposite sides of the ladder) or a conventional sportsman ladder. A trophy/plaque will be awarded to the winner of each event date.


Each car in the class is guaranteed a minimum of (3) runs in this format. Tires of any type and size are allowed.

Any engine combination, transmission, suspension, power adder(s), tire size, exhaust, and fuel is allowed. No minimum weight is established. The main requirements for the class are the current registration with VIN-matching plates and factory chassis. The vehicle must move under its own power to the starting line and from the shutdown area. Towing is prohibited.
