Hines was quick and Cottle was 7th. That's all I know.

These were the very first set of midgets to hit the track. As the practice went on the track widened out (as much as it could for a track this size) and there was passing. Tomorrow and Saturday it is going to be even better.

Yeah, its not a permanent track with tradition in Indiana, but I think all things considered this will be a great event. As an open wheel fan from Missouri any event that brings in big name drivers like the ones that are in Kemper Arena is awesome.

I can only make it out to Indiana once a year and I can't afford the Chili Bowl so it is disappointing to see other open wheel fans on this thread be so negative about a first time event.

I give credit to all that have built this up but getting all the names they got to come to this event (saying it was the same size as Tulsa) it is very disappointing.

To give you an example of the size difference, for those understanding gear ratios, Tulsa is 7.75 to 7.98 for an esslinger....At Kansas city it is a 9.75.

Alot smaller.
