Riders Council

Riders Council members are selected on the basis of their commitment to the improvement of the Little 500. Together, the council has over 50 years of combined experience racing Little 500.

Members add value to the Little 500 community by serving as a brain trust for new riders and as a sounding board for the IU Student Foundation. Riders Council members are leaders on the track, in the classroom, and in the community.
