Which race will you attend, and why?

I'm going to catch the midget show, but I'd like a local perspective on which event is more popular.

IMO...you can catch the Midgets on tar many times throughout the year, but seldom do you get to witness 33 Sprint cars, in 11 rows of 3:respect:, with 2 pit stops:eek:, run 500 laps on a high-banked 1/4/mile bullring.

It's just different!

See you there

I second that Morty, and I will see you there.

little 500 there's nothing like it, once you go your hooked, i can't wait!

:censor:

I did the midget show for about 40 years and got fed up with the added divisions, a parking charge, etc. So I switched to the Little 500 about 6 or 7 years ago. Now I am absolutely hooked on the Little 500! It is my can't miss race every year now. I'll never go back to the midget show. 2+ hours of sprint car mayhem with no support crap. I love it!

Once I witnessed the Little 500 I was hooked. I enjoy all types of racing and I particularly enjoy the dirt sprint & midget races. However, the only race that still causes the hair on the back of my neck to stand up is the start of the Little 500. I can see midgets race on asphalt quite a few times but only once a year do I get to see 33 sprint cars in 11 rows of 3 jump on the go pedal. It's Saturday night, May 24, 2008 and time for the 60th annual running of the greatest short track race in the land; The Little 500. Be there.

I love IRP and I love a competitive field of pavement midgets, but it's just hard to skip the Little 500 once you've seen it. It's hard to describe because sometimes it fades in the latter half of the race....but I find myself going back because the early portions of the race are as good as it gets and there's always a chance for a close finish, such as when Aaron Pierce was chasing down Eric Gordon a few years back.

If Anderson gets another quality field and it seems like Gordon will have some challengers, I'll be back there to see it again...

I saw my first Little 500 back in the mid/late 60s. I've returned many times. I've been to IRP for quite a few "Night Before" events and have no intentions to ever see another one, for the reasons stated above by Seadog.

I was glad to see that one end, Kirk. Two or three more laps, and Pierce would have caught us for sure, and probably would have passed for the win.
