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.

Absolutely the Little 500. It is THE race of the year for me. I only wish that I had started going years earlier. :thumb

Since we raced the midgets, maybe I am biased, but I still like the Night before.

I have been to 2 or 3 Little 500's, and it's cool. I just like the midgets better.

That said, I am going to the Little 500 again this year to help a customer.

I have never attended either just sitting in the stands, so that may have changed my opinion.

The little 500 all the way....i live in andrson and i'd be crazy if i didnt go to the little 500...:kookoo

2 people out of 14 so far like "The night before the 500" better...:O:

Night before at IRP, because we camp on McCray in speedway and go to thee 500. last year's IRP race was great and they ran all the midget heats, semi, and feature with only one support race. I think this year it is only the usac midgets but i could be wrong.

I have been to both and I think I prefer the "Little 500".......but, I may do what I did last year to see if Mr. Stanbrough can make it two in a row at the Lawrenceburg KISS show.

I've done both. This year we're going to Lawrenceburg for the KISS show.
I much prefer DIRT!

Little 500 for sure!
Why?
Because I get to hang out with Funk and Morty, and the rest of us midwest misfits.
See you all there!

Little 500 and Indy 500 within 24 hours. That's a lot of hair raising stuff. See you at both events. I love midgets and IRP, but come on...IRP would be very smart to start hotlaps on Saturday at 8am. I'd be there and Anderson. But since I'm forced to choose, see you in Anderson! :thumb
David.

8 ayem!! :eek: I think they should run it starting at midnight Saturday so we could see the Little 5, Night B4, and Indy 500 within about 20 hours!:kookoo
