OK boys, fire away!!!

I agree with the preferring midgets part, I've always loved midgets. I disagree with the conserving fuel/tires part. For years my buddies tried to talk me into going to the little 500. I always declined due to having to get up early for the Indy 500 the next day. I figured the little 500 took forever with crashes and guys just plugging around saving equipment, etc...
Finally I agreed to go, just to shut my buddies up. Man was I wrong about the little 500! I was shocked at how just the opposite it is. The race is over very quickly for 500 laps. AND, if you just drive around saving tires/fuel...you are going MANY laps down in a hurry. The race is run at a frenzied pace, it is fantastic! My first one was many years ago and I haven't missed one since. :respect:
