The fact that you guys and the Speedway collectively have put up the old ABC broadcasts in their ENTIRETY including intros/pre-race/race/post-race makes me so happy.
Makes up for the years of 2-hour (90 minute) condensed ESPN Classic versions we all watched every year.

I met Roger and Bill Mears in 2004 at the Kansas Speedway in 2004. They were very kind and took pictures with my Dad and I. I think they were just a little surprise we knew who they were.

I always enjoy watching this particular broadcast. My mom went into labor with me the day before while at the 500 parade. She drove herself to the hospital after it was over. It’s funny to me to think that while this was going on, I was just down the road, a few hours old.

Famous rookies in this race: Michael Andretti, Roberto Guerrero, and Emerson Fittipaldi. Michael and Roberto shared Rookie of the Year honors

At 1:13:49 the guy in the blue suit carrying Johncock's helmet is Dr. Stephen Olvey. The man credited with making INDY Car have excellent medical care right there on the track, not later at the hospital.

I sat in the inside of the track on Pit Row with a group of STP employees. When the STP car driven by Johncock touched the 4th turn wall and spun toward the pits, a woman sitting next to me jumped up, grabbed my arm, cutting me with her fingernails, and knocked me off my seat. The bleachers were concrete, and I fell against the seat in front of me, scraping my shins. I did get a lot of free STP stuff. Ah! The memories! That year I was able to be in Indy for the whole month of May.

My first race and Pat Bedards car ended up right in front of me and my dad. In our minds there was no way he survived but thank god we were wrong.

It's great that we have live coverage now, but man, that shot at 2:45...

46:09 - To this day I have no clue how Patrick Bedard survived that accident.

Jim McKay opened the telecast live, even though the race was on tape, because his commentary of the middle of the race was done as the edited tape was being broadcast.
His commentary of the start, the first few laps, the last few laps, and the finish were done as they happened.
Since the telecast was taped and edited (for showing that same evening), it was just better to do it that way.

Snevas Texaco Star car is one of the best looking Indy cars ever.

Gosh, that open with Jim's narration and that smooth transition from the empty track at nightfall to the capacity crowd was a thing of beauty. No offense to NBC, much offense to ESPN on ABC, but NO ONE could cover Indy as well as ABC Sports.
And this was even before the perfection of Paul Page and Delta Force and Live Flag to Flag coverage.

Thanks Indycar for upload another Indy classic race.

Mears was flawless. Unreal precision.

This is the first Indy 500 I ever remember. This was back when it was broadcast in prime time at night.

Olde Jackie Steeewart forever uttering the importance "In the Interest of Safety".

Surprisingly, this is your first upload of an Indy 500 in about a year since Indianapolis Motor Speedway's YT channel upload some Indy 500 races as well. Thanks again.

I was there and have no clue how I survived it. Infield in the 4th turn was always quite the party. glad I lived it and experienced it
