Is that Allan Bestwick doing the PA announcing? It is. This is perhaps why Bob Jenkins was unavailable for this race due to health issues.

I remember watching the Indy 500 in the mid 60ies. It wasn't on tv back then. But at places around the country, including the minnesota state fair grounds they had it live on a giant screen setup inside one of the big buildings. The hippodrome or whatever they called it. a large seating capacity and a large open area where all the farm animals did their thing during the state fair. Thousands would show up. Cost maybe 50 cents back then. A total race party for the whole race. People selling food and drinks, tee-shirts and so on. My older brother would drive us. A group of 5 or 6 total. And we partied while the race was on the big screen. One of the years we went was the year Jim Clark won the thing.

pardon me for this but Paul Tracy is such a dick head. I remember back in about 94 he was racing for Penske. Back then Penske had 3 cars. Paul took out Al junior, prolly Penske's #1 driver, on his way out of the pit in one race. :-) Racing 101. Don't take out a team mate

As soon as the race actually started, the audio and video start cutting out. Anybody else having this happen?
