Vintage Indy Cars- Startup and Race- Awesome Engine Sounds, Enjoy!!

This was shot at the 24th annual Miller Meet at the Milwaukee Mile. Super cool chance to see these vintage race cars up close and watch them cruise around the Mile.
First time shooting with this camera, sorry for some wonky camera work. Shot with a Canon 80D

OMG,seeing and hearing these beautiful machines takes me right back to the fifties,when i first became a huge racing fan!The cars are so beautiful,and that sound,takes me back to liostening to Sid Collins call the 500 on radio.What an era!

[@big_blok_hed]

thank you sir, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I love seeing them used once in a while rather than just being museum queens. Thanks for the ambient sounds instead of music.

[@knut-hinrichqwalter2463]

To me the engine sound is music!

[@dannydimes3350]

Something about the man smiling at 0:50 after it starts up brings so much joy to my heart, absolute nostalgia right there

[@allanrussack2844]

Great to see and hear the cars from an era of individual design

[@bboomer1948]

I can still recall the 50's , listening to KLAC Radio in the San Fernando Valley, broadcasting the Indy 500 on Memorial Day. What a special treat , once a year. My ears close to the radio, either at home or at a local park where the family gathered to Honor our Nations Fallen Hero's. Thanks for this video and ..................The Sounds !! Nothing like those Offy's.

[@buckzx12r]

The most beautiful sounds of all time,the Indy Roadster!

[@2264ish]

As a kid growing up I use to think faster was cooler and better. Now that im older I think these cars are way cooler and better than the fast cars of modern times.

[@rockets4kids]

I always thought these old cars were cooler. What I learned as an adult was the balls it took to race them.

[@SpecialEDy]

It's infinitely more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow.

[@tayninh69]

I agree 100%.

[@timcolledge3732]

Fabulous!! Cant beat the sound of an Offy!!!

[@m.lecollie3565]

The howl of an Offenhauser... Beautiful Music!!! The Stutz is no slouch either.

[@edgworth]

Sounds like a squadron of WW2 fighter planes. AWESOME!

[@willmchale3001]

Buddy in the hat taking a gut shot in the beginning is hilarious. Barely flinches.

[@michaelschubel6330]

You can’t beat that great Offy sound!

[@jlh55]

Race cars today are dangerous but to get in one of those indy roadsters no roll bar not even a seatbelt nothing fireproof capable of 200 mph uuhh have got big time respect

[@bloqk16]

The beauty of such current era videos of these vintage racers is seeing them in color. Back in their heydays, nearly all the photos of them were in black & white. Rarely were color photos taken of the racers from early to mid-20th century.

[@robertkeefer1552]

That Blue Crown Spark Plug Special is fantastic. Those cars won Indianapolis in 1947 through 1949. Mauri Rose in 47 and 8 and Bill Holland in 49.

[@life_of_riley88]

The blue crown cars have always been the absolute epitome of race car beauty to me. The 270 offy sound, that Kurtis style chassis/body design is just perfection.

[@normantimbsjr5959]

My dad designed the Blue Crowns!

[@justintyme5053]

Great cars, neat to see them running even if not at full steam. The blonde clambering into the Gilmore Special seemed quite yum as well.

[@life_of_riley88]

Expensive cars. . . expensive ladies.

[@johnvcahill9090]

the #16 Art Cross driven car was assembled by his cousin Walt Cross Sr, at Walt's truck shop in Albany NY. Walt and his son Walt Jr were both mentors of mine 50 years ago. I have a photo of it in mi garage, so cool! I could be wrong but that is how I remember the story.

[@dannywlm63]

Some beautiful cars my friend

[@SgtMjr]

'Hey Andy listen to that Bearcat motor!' ' Yeah Amos I can heah that Bear chasing that Cat all around inside there'

[@theophilhist6455]

Grew up near Trenton Speedway. in the 1950s-60s.....great video....The sounds.... just missing the smell of methanol . Thanks

[@theeaselrider4032]

When they built race cars that looked good and went fast. They sound awesome too, each one a bit different from the rest.

[@chrisfournier6144]

Ripping the atmosphere apart with each crank rotation.

[@jdspence7281]

Thanks for showing this it was awesome

[@lbowsk]

I'd give a nut to drive one on the track at Indy.

[@faerieSAALE]

NEED TO MAKE TWO PLACE, STREET-LEGAL VERSIONS OF THESE GREAT CLASSIC INDY CARS.

[@indyracin1]

I would love to drive one!!

[@homebrewmax]

holy shit that looks bad ass. Im curious are these paying customers driving these cars? A few of those people don't look like race car drivers. The lady definitely does not have the PPE for driving fast.

[@jayc3110]

Thanks, Nice Video.... Wish you had listed the individual cars.

[@donkinzett3961]

Very cool

[@johnnymitz]

An amazing collection of sweet old race cars, but......it appeared all the drivers were clueless rich people.

[@snotnosewilly99]

if it wasn't for them, there would be no old cars at the speedway.

[@georgeboyer8158]

Not a roll bar in site. Just a wee bit scary even at half speed.

[@benhur_9377]

❤️

[@joeschlotthauer840]

That blue is fantastic at :55 seconds, anyone know exactly what it is...

[@orsonboggs7753]

3:55 sounds like an old farm tractor :)

[@MajTom-wd2yt]

Ahhh...back when you could tell them apart. Now they are all the same, 'cept driver and engine. Just another open wheeled NASCAR.

[@johncarl5505]

Even if open designs are alowed, all cars would still look the same.

[@MajTom-wd2yt]

@@johncarl5505 Yes...but the looks & power would not be mandated,

[@codymoe4986]

NASCAR turns 233 mph qualifying laps at Indy? Did I miss those races?

[@zeus-mt7wx]

3:56 is that a Stutz Bearcat. Me not knowing 😫😫😫 I’d be crapping me britches 😩😩 sounds like there’s no oil in engine.

[@timinla64]

I thought it looked like a Mercer Raceabout, but could be wrong. Really cool either way!

[@bloqk16]

@@timinla64 It was, indeed, a Mercer Raceabout, vintage 1913. In the future if you have some doubts about the looks of a car, use the power of the web with a Google search, such as what I did with the words of _images Mercer Raceabout_ where I found loads of photos of Mercers; and I found one that was nearly identical to the one in this video. Same color paint and the distinctive handles on top of the fuel tank with an image I found on the 'web.

[@ZacLowing]

0:05 dudes shirt gets blasted in back lol

[@archmcdonald6170]

N fir prove suits ?

[@HROM1908]

Interesting start to video. When panning, never pan one way and then go beck the other way. Edit out the pointless reverse pan.

[@WildwoodClaire1]

Slightly disappointing because none of the cars were "wound out."

[@Jonascord]

Milwaukee is a 1 mile concrete saucer. There is no place to "wind up" with those old cars. They have tall gears for Indy, and had to be sprint geared right after Memorial Day.

[@ronschneider6096]

Mercer Raceabout.

[@mrhearse777]

Don't blame people by saying they're "Clueless Rich" . They worked and spend their money on these meticulously maintained cars . Let's face it , If you've enough money , you can be as thick as a Donkeys' hoof , and President of America !

[@robertgardner3232]

Nice video but the audio was not good, too much background noise. .

[@rjm6311]

Um, please tell me why these guys are going out in tee shirts and shorts without belts. Most vintage racing organizations require more safety. Yeah, I know about originality. Either these old guys don’t care or they limit their speed to 55 mph on the track. In that case, why bother?

[@phibber]

too bad....no spectaters in stands ...sad

[@mercoid]

I’m popping pills.

[@kathleenbrush5135]

Cool. One of the drivers is a female.

[@chunkybuster7203]

From England: l cannot believe how these drivers are dressed? Surely there has to be rules that prohibit 'beach wear'?
