Yes gates open at 9. It was really wet today but hopefully it dried out for tommorrow. We will have to make that call at 9am. If you want to wait till I get to the track and call me around 9:30 or so you could so you dont drive all the way to find its too wet yet. I really dont know if it will be totally dry or not. The sun was out from 9am on. My cell number is 920 948 4484. Chuck
