I used to switch between The Little 500 and The Night Before The 500 every other year, but several years ago I opted for The Little 500.

IRP has become to much of a tourist destination. The last time I was there everyone around me was with some tour and had no clue what the midgets were about. No clue of who the drivers were or how good or bad they were. And with adding so many different classes, they lost me.

The Little 500 has more real race fans that know the drivers, teams and the cars. It is a lot of fun to sit next to someone that has a clue of what is going on.
