100% agree with this.

I have been fortunate enough to attend four little 500's.
It is a more complex race than 'just 500 laps of going round' watching lapped cars move through the field along with effect of pit stops and traffic in the closing 100 laps along with cars, motors, tires, drives being able to survive this punishing endurance race really really doesn't portray on TV.


I used to tune in on Floracing as it's the Little 500, but it never came close to being there, no where near (but in all honesty what racing does? Be there or be square)

Disappointed I won't be able to watch it this year. Sure. Outraged, certainly not.
DirtVision doesn't carry enough to interest me so not worth a subscription even just for the month.
- you pay your money, you make your choice -

Disappointed at losing the 500 tour series as well. Not my goto series, but always nice to watch delayed courage mid-week.

Regarding tickets for the 500 I always brought in advance in reserved seating areas, turns 1 & 2. Great views and less head swiveling.

Hopefully I'll be able to clock up my 5th Little 500 in 2025.
