Results and photos by John Bisci

The JEGS Super Quick Series was held April 6-7 at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, IL, just across the Mississippi River from downtown St. Louis. An iffy weather forecast for Sunday changed the schedule somewhat with no time runs allowed for cars that were not on the property on Saturday. There were 300 entries for this special event which also included the Gateway Bracket Series race No. 2.

Tom Klemme of Davenport, IA, cleaned house this weekend at Gateway Motorsports Park. Klemme won the Motorcycle class on Saturday and Sunday (Charles Willis Jr. was runner-up both days). He also was entered in the Super Pro class Sunday and defeated Kegan Hagendorn (Hermann, MO) in the final.
