At 43:20 the best start in the history of the Indianapolis 500. Never saw a
sensational moment was like this. Here in Brazil we would put the Eddie
Cheever was “sandwiched” by the Michael and Mario Andretti.
The race itself I consider the best of all time for all that happened;
accidents in training (only the Jovy Marcelo was unfortunate that his
death), Piquet as one of the attractions (but just pounding and giving rise
to Al Unser Sr), a round of Guerrero logo on the sighting lap (Alain Prost
recalled Imola one years before), and accidents of course. Oh, and do not
like to talk about some rookies at the time, Philippe Gache one rally
driver for example.
The veterans were also present. AJ Foyt, Tom Sneva, Gary Bettenhausen, Al
Unser Sr and Gordon Johncock. Of Brazil, Raul Boesel just managed to get to
the end, in seventh.
A sensational race, pity that we have not had Japanese drivers, as Hiro and
Kenji Momota ended up getting hurt and not participating in the race.
This was my first 500. We were on the inside of turn 4. Got to see probably
the best(except for the continued Andretti curse) 500. What a great year
outside the Marcello tragedy.
According to “That Other Wiki”, John Paul Jr raced the entire race with a
broken fuel line. Think this could have been what caused his delayed
departure?

Lol all these old men racing. Anyone know how old the legends were here ?

Wow
Such wreckfest
So caution
Much cold
Very carnage
R. I. P. Gary Bettenhausen. (1941-2014), you will be missed!!!!!
What a intro!!!!!!!!! And look at the great racing Indy had before
reconstructing the turns.. why can’t racing & coverage be this good today
1:53:16 Fast forward to 2014: Passenger cars are safer but not made of
carbon fiber or aluminum (for the most part).
1:53:36 Man, look at his head bounce around. A HANS would have helped but
I think it was still on the drawing board at this point.
Scott Goodyear is a winner in my opinion for all the times he’s come close
and his good sportsmanship he has had all his life
They need those aprons back on the bottom i think it will better racing and
better for open wheel racing in America

You know its time to retire if you get a DNS (Did Not Start)
