Thank you!

These vids are fantastic, but have left me hungry for more. Don't suppose anyone on here knows where to look for full races? any full races, not just the 500.

You have to realize how big a three hour file is.

Thank you again. There were incredible races in the 90's especially the 1992 (Al Unser Jr vs Rick Mears).

It's hard to pick up a single event. I was too young but one of the most significant to me was the "gazoline inferno" back in 1964. For the first time in its history, the Indianapolis 500 was stopped because of an accident (Eddie Sachs, Dave McDonald). It was a big tragedy but the also the beginning of a new era of improved safety ethanol/methanol only.

Any interest in the roadster era?

Is it possible to complete first the 70's vids with 77-78-79 ?

For the roadster take it easy ! I found Colin Chapman a little arrogant when he spoke about the state of motorsport at Indianapolis in 1963. The big roadster were very impressive and handy...

Thanks for the great thread Strad!

Just so you know, your links up to the British Invasion of Indy are dead. It is probably intentional because of bandwidth.

I'm really enjoying the roadster era videos at the moment, strad! I couldn't help but laugh at the scene in "Part 2" where they are cleaning all the dirt off the track with little shop vacs for the sake of "safety".

Thanks for posting all of these videos - they're very enjoyable.

How did you go about collecting all of these anyway? Did you find them in libraries and just have them digitized or what?

Thanks..That is correct, although any can be re-posted upon request.

How did you go about collecting all of these anyway

Many if not most I bought then captured to share..Some are donated by friends. Just years of collecting I guess.
You all are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoy them.
They are I hope an insight into how the technology of racing has changed and you can see how much some things have changed..while at the same time staying the same.

Something different little over 49 minutes 698 Mb divx

We follow the Newman-Haas (Andretti) racing team through the process of building, testing, and racing for a season. This includes extensive race speed on-track footage, including some pre-race footage with a full squad of cars. From time to time, we check in with a small shop building/restoring one of the first roadsters Mario Andretti raced; the finale includes him taking it for a spin.
