I’ll get blasted for my opinion and I’m ok with it. In spite of friends who’s opinion I greatly respect, all I can say I guess is I’m not into novelty sprint car race’s. Still on my bucket list and it’s not that long so chances are I’ll get there soon

I’m a dirt guy who strictly adhered to the mantra that dirt was for racing and asphalt was for getting there, but I gotta tell you that the Little 500 is a must see. Put it on your short list and make it a priority. Anderson is a great track with tons of history and not a bad seat in the house.

That novelty race is some thing you have to see,come see the 74th running next year 😃

I’m sure you guys are right. I have a couple friends who’ve been and still are involved in the race. I guess seeing it live will probably change my mind. Watching on tv, I became disenchanted early after Brian Tyler couldn’t get a push truck. We watched it all and questioned a lot of things. Obviously I don’t even pretend to know the rules and I don’t remember every situation we were puzzled by, but this year we thought the push trucks were remarkably inefficient. I want to make clear we’ve only seen it twice on tv so we’re very uneducated on the happenings. Not however unfamiliar with the race. I’ve been interested in it since I heard of it which is more than 50 years ago. I’m kinda in disbelief that with all the racing we’ve been to, both dirt and pavement we never attended the Little 500

I went 3 years ago and just couldn’t get into it. I’m glad to say I seen it but it’s just not for me.

Missed the last two years due to not being able to be away for a full day but attended three in a row. Up to that point I had seen about four pavement races. One at the old Queen City (NAMARS Midgeets) Staab's win at IRP (Which I loved) and one at Winchester which Dave Steele about lapped the entire field. Sucked to me.

The little 500 is something to see for sure it's about 1/3rd driver, 1/3rd car and 1/3rd strategy and luck. Also wild sitting for a half hour and realizing only a quarter of the race has been run.

Same here, don't like pavement & its too confusing, with so many cars several laps down, I couldn't tell who was in contention until it was down to 14 cars or less
But I'm glad all you other folks enjoy it :22:

You’re killing me here. 🤣 Please come out soon and know it is not a tv friendly race. I still argue it isn’t a novelty either After 73 years, but the most pure race on the calendar. Every second counts, every pass counts even if you’re passing a car 10 laps down. Everything that happens during the race is important. It’s a rare race that combines the need for a fast car, a smart driver and a smattering of good fortune. I love it. Hope to catch up soon, my friend.

I have attended this event every year for the last 28 years. My father and his bother counted laps at the 3rd race and have attended ever since. As much as I love the Indy 500 (been 51 times) I enjoy this event just as much. I have attended racing events all over the world, F1, MotoGP, LeMan's and the Isle of Man TT. If I could only go to a couple events of the year it would be Indy 500, Little 500 and the Isle of Man TT.

Come on, you drink wing Kool aid. You can go and see for yourself its an All Time Classic event!

It's really kinda easy to keep track of until the first pit stops then it gets sketchy without having race monitor After second pit stops they'll probably be less than six or seven sometimes less on the lead lap. The tracks scoreboard gives you the top five and number of laps run. But other than that. It's a challenge. First half though the top ten will be pretty much weaving traffic together. sometimes in two different groups. But it's still wild.
