I'll be there for my 2nd in a row. While not a pavement fan, the racing was good, close and many passes and a three hour race in sprints is not even close to normal. Lots of talent Lots of stratagy and even some luck make this one tough one to win.

See ya there, I'll be in Section 0 back stretch, thanks to a friend. Also should be on site most of the day.

See you there, I bet it sells out again, if it isn't already.

This will be my 40th. Went to my first when Danny Smith, had high school graduation before drivers introductions. Uncle Sam kept me from going to a few. About the only race i attened any more. I set in between first and second turns, gave up the fourth turn tickets. when i watched a start with no sun in my eyes.

I have only missed one since I saw my first. Wish I could remember the year. Like Charles, I didn't go for years because it was pavement, but I look forward to it every year. Always big fun.

I'll be there Thursday helping the Pay Less / Kroger volunteers with Senior Day at the Track. Then Saturday night will be my 18th races. Kudos to the Pay Less stores that raise money for the local food bank and donate it prior to the start of the race.

Pay Less / Kroger sponsorship of the Little 500 has to be one of the longest in short track racing.

This will be my first. Like others, I have shied away because of the pavement. Some online friends talked me into it and then I was asked to help on a pit crew, so that will be a different way to experience my first one. Looking forward to it!

Sadly, this will be the first one I am going to miss since I shot my first Little 5 in 07. I will be back next year, though.
