First 3 laps of 100th Indy 500 from north vista section 51

Front row seats in the north vista with my family at their first ever indycar race. Amazing how dramatically the camera slows these cars down and gives only the slightest hint of the speed these drivers carry through a corner! The speed is better seen on my family's faces immediately after the first and second laps. If you've never been to he Indy you are truly missing an experience unlike any other!

Their reactions are truly what it feels like to experience this race in person

[@shawnbeck2303]

The sound 33 cars make. Running full throttle. Is amazing! A group of Hornets on steroids. Watching on T.V. is awesome! But being there for the first 5 laps. Just incredible. You have to experience it once in your life! Shawn.

[@johnagosta2747]

As Steve Brothers says, it is true. Watching on TV or seeing a video from a spectator at the track does not at all capture the speed or physical senses that are woken up when these cars pass by you at 226 MPH. It is truly one of the "must experience" things to do. Each and every year I go. After my first experience, I am a 'lifer.'

[@benlehman4827]

I've seen indycar at Texas, the speed is simply incredible. It's right up there with experiencing 2 top fuel dragsters take off, or watching an F1 car tear through a set of turns.

[@marisgertans2438]

Exactly! I 've been to CART Lausiztzring in 2001, and in MotoGP races (bikes), and only in real life it is possible to comprehend those speeds.

[@stratplayr6997]

You have to go to a race in person to fully appreciate it and see how fast the cars are going. You just don't get that from TV, it makes the race look slower than it really is.

[@TheMickeymental]

Never tire of watching the speed and skill.

[@rodentcafeteria]

You really get a sense that the cars was hauling ass around that turn!

I was there race day. We hadn't gotten tickets yet and were looking around for scalpers. We found a guy who had two tickets for pit row seats. Best time of my life even though I developed a double ear infection two days before.

[@nicolewembley3093]

Those cars seem so stable at 220 mph it is amazing.

So cool!! ❤❤

Wow, that is a great video.

My brother and I were between turn 4 and pit entrance that year that was my 1st Indy race

[@90barns]

Is it me or are the Indy fans a totally different breed of people from NASCAR?

[@Bflakes9901]

Does it matter, why bring this bullshit up ? We all love racing now stop

[@philipdillon83]

@@Bflakes9901 Ok snowflake

[@johnbigelson7471]

its just you. I see a lot of overlap. Both NASCAR and indy fans are people that love racing and love to have a good time. The different breed of people are the snob crowd of F1 - there's far more simularity between NHRA fans, NASCAR, and Indycar, whereas F1 fans will typically stick to just F1 or other 'refined' euro races like 24 hours at Le Mans.

[@soarabove337]

Yeah, that’s crazy… how fast them cars go.

[@Secretarian]

I was in Section 27 Row Z of North Vista for this race. So, closer to entrance to turn 4 from where this video was taken. Mostly a boring race as there were very few passes in this section of the track. We did get to see Rossi coast to a stop on the warmup lane down in turn 4 at the end.

How was the noise from the Snake Pit? Could you even hear it? I’ve always sat in turn 1 but got turn 3 three tickets this year for a change.

[@stevebrothers2472]

Nah cannot hear it, but it’s cool to watch the stage show and occasional pyrotechnics in between laps from turn 3. We’ll be there again in turn 3 this year!

[@sonnypruitt6639]

I'd like to see Indycars and NASCAR Cup cars racing on the same track, at the same time. Two races at once.

[@richarddobson3138]

Let me say this to all racing fans.. Everyone likes to blame Tony George for the IRL/CART split in 1995. Nothing could be further from the truth...CART wasn't even formed until 1979, and that very year they threatened a boycott of the 500 all the way up to the last minute...CART by the way stands for CORPORATE ATTEMPT for RACING TAKEOVER in my view. From its inception it tried to take full control of the Speedway from the family that owned it since 1945..Prior to the split, the IndyCar series was by far the most prestigious series in the U.S. When Cart split for failure to achieve their goal, the Corporations took their money to NASCAR..which made it America's most prestigious series in much of the media led sheeps view..Tony George created his own league and brought on the 25/8 rule as a response to CART'S Takeover ultimatum.... CART provoked the whole thing not the other way around as most all The Corporate Media outlets proclaimed at the time and for years after.. There are books now available on this subject. Tony George was simply doing what was in the best interests of his family's business and their personal property..Even Roger Penske admits this now...Paul Newman and Carl Haas often stated they would stop at nothing to get control of Indianapolis ....They failed... Roger has said often going along with the split was the biggest mistake he made...But since then the Corporate Control that made Nascar so popular in the mid 90s -early 2000s has ran the series in the ground with it's crazy rule changes and many fans have quit watching altogether. It remains to be seen what Roger Penske will do with the IndyCar series now but like Tony George said, Penske is the man most ideally suited for stewardship to move the series forward again into the future. NEVER BELIEVE WHAT THE NATIONAL MEDIA TELLS YOU ON ANYTHING...THEY ARE TOTALLY ABOUT CONTROL AND CONTROL ONLY...NEVER ABOUT THE TRUTH.. .

[@robc.5745]

I agree with you on that.

Bad seats 💺

[@stevebrothers2472]

With all due respect, there may be “better” seats, but judging by my family’s reactions I’d say these are far from “bad” seats. Enjoy this year’s race. We’re in turn1/turn2 short chute this year.
