Great video!I've been around the Indy 500 track in various ways. 1963 in a track tour bus; 1968 marching band; 1987, 1988, and 2004 in a passenger car. And Daytona in 1983, clockwise ('backwards') in a track tour bus. While cars (not race cars) were tire-testing. In the opposite direction.In 1987 & 88, at Indy it was the Mayor's Breakfast and opening day. You only got about 3/4 of a lap on the track, and the faster vehicles were passing cars in the backstretch. I managed to hit an indicated 085 (top indicated speed of that era speedometers, if you recall!). I still remember the sound of a Porsche 930 Turbo blowing past as soon as we got on the track.05-26-04 was in the Vibe (Thread -->
http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=10428 )In 2004 (Community Day) they made it clear there was NO PASSING, and limited our speed to 30 or 40 with track safety vehicles in the turns:It's still fun to drive on any race track in your personal vehicle, at speed or not.
