2014 Super Chevy Show St. Louis: Gateway Rumble

COPOS and Yenkos and Show Cars—Oh, My! The St. Louis Super Chevy Show was a blast.

Jim CampisanoWriterArvid SvendsenWriter

It would be rather difficult to think of something they didn’t have at the Super Chevy Show at Gateway Motorsports Park this year. Autocross? Yes. Nearly 300 show cars and hundreds more race cars? Check. Swap meet and manufacturers midway? Yup. Driving your show car around Gateway’s circle track after the awards? Of course.

The Midwest stop on the Super Chevy Traveling Circus has been one of the top tier events since it arrived on the schedule three years ago. Participants are drawn to the top-notch facility, the varied things to do, and the central location. This year, the Yenko Super Car Reunion was held on Saturday, giving spectators a chance to view numerous original Yankos and COPOs blast down the quarter-mile, quite the thrill for young and old alike.
