The entire idea of this race anymore is one off. The cost involved in running this race to truly win is I would assume pretty big. You have guys with Indy Car style fuel set up on sprint cars, you basicly need to do a rebuild of around $5000 or more after running this race and the tire bill has to be huge.

As far as building one off cars it has been done in the past and none really dominate. Most teams are struggling to come up with money to race the season now so to put crazy amounts of money into a car just to race once a year, I don't see but maybe a handful if that building special cars. Even if they did you will still have guys show up just to say they ran the Little 500.

The sport need events like these and the different types cars showing up would be a bigger draw to the fans if promoted correctly. Remember when Foyt bet the rear engine cars in an upright dirt car. Fans love an underdog and want to see innovation and we need that in our sport.

Let them run most guys will bring and older roadster from out of the cobwebs to run and not build a special car.
