Saturday was the 60th Running of the Men's Little 500. The bike race which is actually only 200 laps around the track usually takes about 2 hours to complete. It took almost four hours this year because of a weather delay. At 104 laps lightening struck and they delayed the race. After the weather cleared up and the track dried off the riders remounted their Schwinns to complete the race. The Cutters, an independent team, took home the trophy. It was their 11th win. It was a muddy, cold and rainy day but the race still as exciting as ever.
