I remember some years ago, the Hoosier 100 was split into twin 50s. Yeah, I did feel that it defeated the purpose, but man, it was a pretty good race. . . . .As far as the 100 at IRP? Well, it goes without saying that it isn't the same. Not to say champ cars aren't a good show at IRP, it just isn't the same race.
