I would like to see the quality of the cars running The Little 500 improve.

I have been chasin' racin' a long time,but there were sixteen drivers I have never heard of. Throw in a few I knew that were in less than stellar equipment and you end up with maybe 8 or 10 quality car.

The Little 500 has become almost like a NASCAR race. The first half is for getting rid of the wanna be's and the second half is for racing. And you hope one of the wanna be's does not take out a lot of the quality cars.(like what happened Sat.)

If they could increase the halfs and decrease the half nots, it would make for better racing, less wrecks and safer racing.Think how good those last 150 laps could have been with more quality cars.(By the way, why was that 12 car not blacked flagged. He was getting lapped ever other lap.)

I know the night before the 500 is a big USAC deal, but there has to be a way to make The Little 500 better. I love that race.

Do you think a monster purse would provide cause for the USAC guys to come to The Little 500?(Or since USAC sanctions both, they will not let the Little 500 have a large purse).

Or am I living in the past, when I thought fields were better?
