Re: Little 500
My late great buddy Jack French built a special car for this event. It paid off as his car won this event several times.

I enjoy the whole week of the Little 500. Interesting to watch as the drivers and teams work to gain speed prior to qualifying. Then they work on race strategy in preparation for the race. For me it culminates with the race. I’ve been going for over 30 years and take my grandkids with me, wouldn’t miss it.

Re: Little 500
Well this will be my 34th year. Few things I can add to what people are saying:
1. if you haven't been in the last 5 to 6 years, the race has totally changed. It so much more competitive now. Really don't have cars riding around the bottom getting lapped every 5 laps. Its a fight just to make the field. 2. all of the top teams have really picked up there game. Its much harder now to get on a lap by yourself. Pit strategy is huge. No perfect science to it either. 3. ENDURANCE is the word. Top cars wreck out every single year. Someone in the top 5 always has a pit mistake. 4. Its almost like some teams have figured out how to make there cars get better as the race goes on. Its probably more that there cars don't fall off like most others. Every year someone becomes a rocket ship in the last 200. How big of a hole did they dig themselves in the first 300? I love this race. I absolutely hate the track management. The management has destroyed the place. This race funds there year. Very little money is put back into the place. The track mismanagement is what holds this race back. I grew up here. This is the only time I visit the track each year. |
