Total purse for the Little 500 is over $120,000. Money isn't keeping any contenders away. The "Night B4 the 500" midget race is. My solution is to run the Night B4 race Two nights B4 on Friday night and move the Hoosier Hundred to the Friday of the MotoGP weekend in September in place of the midgets. As far as the disparity in speeds at Anderson make as a minimum that any car must time within 2 seconds of the pole sitter total for the four laps. It doesn't sound like much but it is a half second a lap which is a difference of 22 laps plus over 500 laps.
