Very cool!! I don't know how Gateway is set up, but generally the view is more limited from the infield...but it is really cool to be down near the pits during the race to see sorta a behind the scenes of what is going on!

If you get a chance to stop to eat, before you get into the St. Louis area, right off I-55, there is a little town called Festus. There is a good restaraunt there called Tanglefoot Steakhouse. Great Beer and wine selections, Great desserts, great burgers.
