I have this entire race on tape. Was the first one I started with, taping each year. This was the last year it was presented in tape delay. Oops, I guess that was mentioned.
Thanks for sharing this! My parents are Hoosiers and I grew up watching this race every year so many great names mentioned here. My parents were at the 1969 race when Mario Andretti won. I was blessed enough to be able to sit on the starting line at the 1998 race.
I agree CrazyRacer48. Indy is truly a moving experience. I tell people all the time even if you aren’t into racing you should experience Indy live atleast once in your life. This year will be the 9th time I’ve gone to Indy and like you say I get goosebumps everytime.
back when this race TRULY meant something. Before that little whiny pissant Tony George destroyed open wheel racing in the US… honest to God, if I ever ran across him face to face I’d bitch slap him right in the mouth.

No race in the world like it, it gives me chill bumps everytime, just what that place means to racing.

Nope; 1986 was the first LIVE Indy 500.
July 30th, 2010 at 8:12 am
This was the 1st year of LIVE full race coverage , right??

Will you upload the 1992 edition?
July 30th, 2010 at 9:54 am
I found the song available for download from somewhere, thanks though.

Someone uploaded the whole soundtrack on Youtube (Indy-500 pics included). You’ll be able to listen to it.

why can’t they have simple, straight-forward intro’s like this nowadays for the indycar races (well, we may need to update that music a little, heh)?

That crash was in ‘75. He won the 500 in 1983.
July 30th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
That Sneva wreck was pretty damn awesome in ‘83.

We should also point out that this was the last Indy 500 to be tape-delayed; the following year, ABC would finally broadcast the race live.

Jim McKay kicks ass.

I wish I could download the Delta Force music. That was the best music for a theme to the Indy 500. Bring it back!
July 30th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
I like the Delta Force music, too, though this music is pretty nice. Catchy.

Dear Champ Car fans. I will have the others parts online tomorrow I promise. Sorry for the long wait just it takes time.
