LIttle 500 Qualifications


The Little 500 is almost here! Saturday all the hopeful teams came out for qualifications. Each teams had to do a time trial and the fastest thirty three teams get to compete in the race.


The time trials were form 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The early morning didn't scare the fans away. People started to show up at the stadium as early as 7:30 a.m. Fans came out to cheer on their team. Making posters and even creating cheers.

Team Dyanamica

In the qualifications each rider on the team has to do a lap. This means that there must be three exchanges in the qualification ride. Exchanges are one of the most exciting parts of the Little 500 and can also be one of the most dangerous. A member of Team Dynamica fell while hopping off the bike and the team had to start over. They still qualified, despite the setback. The race can be dangerous, but that is part of what makes it so exciting. There are only a couple more weeks until the big day!
