I think there should be a minimum speed in the little 500 If the leaders are dong 12.2 and someone's out there getting lapped every five laps doing 15s or higher throw the black flag. they get one chance to return and be within say 2.5 second speeds.
I've attended three and will attend more. Two of the three were highly entertaining. the third was a Swanson ass kicking. It also sucks if one of your favorites is out early. Grand didn't make the 100 lap mark.

The thrill of winning it is TREMENDOUS
I was buddy's with Jack French and that guy worked his tail off on a special car every year. Eric Gordon won a couple with Banjo Enterprises (that was the sponsor when I was around, they won several) also Jacob Wilson took the checkers and I have been there with him when he got knocked out early. It's a special deal. There are a ton of secrets to winning the thing. |

Getting to any race track early and setting up your tailgate affords you the absolute pleasure of sitting on your ass enjoying a cold beverage and watching the late arrivals scramble

Not to mention the connection to the rump rump of the engine to the alcohol in the tank, the cam in the engine makes the rump rump of the engine and the alcohol makes the smell in the air, and a bit of Uplon in the tank insures the engine is getting better cylinder lube than just the dry alcohol
