2016 Gateway Dirt Pit Stalls – Go Behind the Scenes on Move in Day

Take a look at the 2016 Gateway Dirt Nationals pit stalls ahead of the event. Today, dirt racing invades The Dome at America’s Center.

Last night teams from all across the country began rolling into the stadium. They unloaded their cars and setup pit stalls. I’ve been working on gathering an entry list, but apparently it’s a hard thing to come by.

I will say the Gateway Dirt Nationals is stacked with local talent and big name dirt late model drivers. A few of the drivers I’ve seen thus far; Scott Bloomquist, Bobby Pierce, Kenny Wallace, Gordy Gundaker, Kyle Steffens, Kevin Weaver, Ray Walsh and Lance Dehm. That’s a very short and incomplete list of the drivers I’ve seen. I couldn’t tell who most of the dirt late model drivers were last night as their trailer was not unloaded.

Most teams have rented a single car pit stall. Meaning, no trailer. The cars are dropped off and the trailer is parked across the street.

There are only a select few who purchased a pit stall big enough for their enclosed trailer rig. However, for those guys the rig must be detached from the trailer. They have the trailer only, with the hauler also parked across the street.

Many were questioning how the Gateway Dirt Nationals staff could fit 400 race cars in a single building. However, the room is there. The America’s Center Convention Complex has an amazing amount of space. A total of 502,000 square-feet in the L shaped building. The complex is attached to The Dome.

The convention center also happens to be one of the most beautiful modern minimalist interiors I’ve ever seen in St. Louis. I want to live in there.

SHANE WALTERS ART
I strongly believe in quality not quantity. I use nothing but the best products and materials in every aspect of my artwork. Most art you’ll find from other stores or artist’s are mass produced products using machines and the cheapest available supplies and paints. The costs on my end when producing each piece of art are significantly increased when going the high-quality artwork route. However, I’m only interested in offering you the highest quality of luxury art available, no matter the costs on my end.

Custom Painted Blinds Project

These now custom painted blinds started out as standard white Levolor blinds. I opened the box of brand new Levolor blinds and disassembled them, one by one.
