History buffs attending the Gold Crown might make the ten minute drive from Tri City to the Lewis and Clark State Historic Site for our "Flags Over the Mississippi: Struggle for Empire" event. Reenactors will portray American, French, and Spanish militias, as well as civilians. The LC Site is located on ILL Rt. 3, just north of 270. (The second exit past the Tri City exit, if you're coming from Indiana.) GPS address: 3500 New Poag Road, Hartford, IL

Things to do in St Louis within half hour drive of Tri-City Speedway
The Anheuser-Busch brewery tour is worth doing and it's free with 2 free beers of your flavor of choice at the end of it.
Grant's Farm is very much worth doing. It's compliments of Anheuser-Busch, this Busch family estate was once owned by Ulysses S. Grant. Animal shows, petting area and a tram ride through the wildlife preserve.
The Gateway Arch is neat if you have never been to the top. Just call ahead or go online and purchase your ticket to avoid the long wait times. The museum under the arch is really neat
The St Louis Zoo is a great zoo and it's free admission
If you like arts and thngs the Art Museum is near the zoo and free. Missouri Botanical Garden is near there and also free
The Science Center near the zoo is very cool but there is an admission charge
The "hill" area of St Louis has some great great Italian food. I like Rigazzi's the best. You just have to get a Rigazzi's fishbowl of beer.
A little further west in Chesterfield is the Kemp Auto Museum. Very nice collection of cars. Plus you can go to the Ferrari, Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Lotus dealer very near there and sit in exotic cars and dream.
If you like motorcycles the Moto Museum has a great collection.
Or we could have a giant BBQ at my house about 40 minutes from Tri-City
