One of the things I like about the Little 500 is that they have all the drivers gather in a tent behind the grandstand for an autograph session. Great way to meet both Midwest drivers you may not have seen and others from around the country and Canada who are in this part of the country once a year. I have been to both and find the Little 500 to be more of an event. IRP really doesn't seem to try that hard.

However, the bottom line is sprints vs. midgets + support classes. I don't think you will be disappointed by either.
