  • Thinking Back: 2005 Indy 500 had a great start...

    it truly was the best starting formations at Indy in years...here's to hoping the same is in store for 2006...

    That was one of the better starts I've seen in years. It drew a rather loud roar of approval from my section.

      Is there a really good picture of the field in formation taking the green flag?

        Also serves as my desktop wallpaper even though it isn't at wallpaper dimensions.

        IMS should hire the best photographer they can, stick him on the roof of the E Stand Box with the best zoom lens money can buy and have him do nothing but take a shot of the race start. Then resize it to all the typical wallpaper resolutions and host on indy500.com as the OFFICIAL race start photo!

          I thought the ending was better
          "Ninety-two years ago [the Indy 500] was probably like any other race," said 2005 winner Dan Wheldon. "But over time it's just created so many storylines and history for people of our generation that now it's just massive. People value that history and tradition and you just can't take that away."

            was it just because of the camera angle or dust but was there still more cars to make the turn?
            There doesn't seem like 33 cars in the pic!

                I just didn't see the cars in 1 a few years ago, I actually felt the thud when Scott Sharp hit the wall. I am in the SW Vista.

                  That start was my first, real start. I'll never forget it.

                          "I think of Indianapolis every day of the year, every hour of the day, and when I sleep, too. Everything I ever wanted in my life, I found inside the walls of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I love it all, from the first to the last day in May. The moment that race starts is always the greatest moment of my life, and the day I win that race, it will be as if my life has ended. There is nothing more I could want out of life."

                            Now that's awesome! Thanks so much for that video!! You can see the speed of the cars so much better form that video than you can from the TV shots!

                              The video is cool, but from personal experience, sitting that low in the Paddock Box is a horrible place to watch the race.

                              By the way, what "shot" was the guy trying to get at the end of that video?
