I THINK THESE CENTENNIAL ERA MOMENTS WILL HELP PEOPLE BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE RICH HISTORY OF THE 500 MILE RACE. THE MEN RACED THEN AND IN LATER YEARS
RACED FOR LITTLE MONEY ,COMPAIRED TO TODAY. THEY
LOVED RACING! RACING WAS A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS
PURSUIT.THEY WERE NOT INSANE THEY WERE RACERS!!
WOW, to think THAT was the Speedway back then. I have seen "The Big Wheel" with Mickey Rooney of (basically) the 1949 Indy 500, but here there are hardly any stands/seating.
I would love to have a whole DVD full of these old news reels.
I'll bet when they paved the track that some old-timer's were upset over how the dust from the bricks would no longer fly during the start and a "tradition" had been lost.
It was really cool listening to the sound of the engines and seeing the Ford family being introduced to one of the drivers!
How in the world could anyone be a riding mechanic? It's one thing to take a chance with your own life, but putting your life in someone else's hands is INSANE!
