The Indy 500 today is still the greatest race in the world. Witnessing machines from an era that’s long gone is more than just exciting – it’s strangely moving. Hearing a big block V-8 thunder down the front straight, for example, or the rumble of a 1,000-hp Offy churning at near 200 mph, just as it did in the early ‘80s. 2012 Indy 500 - Wild Finish Takuma Sato vs Dario Franchittitag:www.thevrl.com,2012-05-29:1465153:Video:3158512012-05-29T15:27:34.365ZStephen Pagehttps://www.thevrl.com/profile/Stephenpage
