The inaugural NMRA Gateway Rumble visits Gateway Motorsports Park May 16-19 and the facility steeped in Mustang drag racing history. As one of the crown jewel of facilities in the Mid-west, the St. Louis area motorsports facility has hosted some of the biggest Ford events in drag racing history and NMRA is returning in 2019.

Every NMRA event includes 2,000+ HP Street Outlaws that race in a heads-up, side-by-side drag race. Fans will be treated to awesome Blue Oval drag racing, including Coyote Stock, Renegade, Super Stang, Modular Muscle, and much more!

On Sunday, the Gateway Rumble gets cranking as the quickest 16 cars from Saturdays QA1 True Street competition compete heads-up for even more cash, prizes and magazine coverage. To be eligible for the Gateway Rumble, competitors must meet QA1 True Street rules and make all three passes on Saturday.

Going down Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is a huge Manufacturer's Midway packed with vendors and representatives from some of the best aftermarket companies in the industry. A giant all-Ford Car Show is another part of the NMRA experience where early- and late-model Fords will compete for trophies on Saturday and Sunday.
