Race Fans,
This is a half-hour video (no audio besides generic Big Band) of Carburation Day and Race Day at Indianapolis in 1941. The treat? It’s in color! Ten minutes in you get to witness the great garage fire. Tech inspections? Thrill to a driver pulling his own plugs for the AAA guys! Be amazed that nobody is wearing seatbelts! Racecars with a reverse gear! Long chats with the chief mechanic during pit stops! Drivers smoking on the grid. This is racing, people. Enjoy.
