Yes! My Grandpa is the narrator in this film, Chris Schenkel! Thank you for posting this. My family still loves the track, the race, and all of Indianapolis in the month of May! A family tradition my grandpa started for us. See you in a few weeks!
what a great ambassador for the sport he was!
Chris Schenkel was one of the best...…..I grew up with him, and Nelson Burton Jr., on Saturday's with the PBA. The man was a legend...….
@@gretzkysyotes He also called gymnastics at the 1976 Montreal Olympics and called all seven of Nadia Comenici's tens.
What a great family heritage
For me your grandpa was the voice of the Indy 500. Have a wonderful May.
This was my first 500. I was behind sitting in the stands behind the pits.
how did the crash start? i notice it was in AJs row. His aggression took out a big chunk of field at the line a few years later. This one wasnt on him as well, was it?
My grandfather, who I never met, went to 33 Indy races in a row. This was the last race he attended before passing at the young age a 56. The Indy 500 has always been a huge event in my family. I hope to attend one someday.
Attending this year?
I can’t imagine this race being run today. It was so much more dangerous back then. The cars were insanely dangerous, the crowd was literally right up on the track, the walls were lower, catch fencing too....deaths nearly every year were just accepted as part of it. Today when we sadly lose a driver, it’s major news. And they’re going almost 100 mph faster today than these cars were going. Makes you really appreciate the bravery of the old school drivers like Foyt, Rathmann, Jones, etc. Not to take anything away from today’s drivers....
The way it was meant to be, DANGEROUS! Without Danger WHY?

Hill had already been World Champion by this point, and had won at Monaco three times. He still had another World Championship, two more Monaco wins and a win at LeMans in his future. Amazing career. In my opinion, only Mario Andretti's career rivals Hill's in terms of accomplishments across a variety of racing formulae.
Ahem, Foyt won in EVERYTHING. Won Indy 4 times, LeMans, Daytona 500, dirt tracks etc. Wouldn't race in F1 because of politics.
Ahem, you can't say that Foyt won IN EVERYTHING when he never raced in F1. Andretti and Hill not only succeeded in F1, they were World Champions. Andretti won the Daytona 500 and dirt tracks, as well.
John Surtees. 🏁
Jim Clark, rightly considered the best 'natural' racing driver of the '60's & people like to speak to whether Jimmy or Ayrton Senna, or way back: Tazio Nuvalari were best. Jackie Stewart & Fangio spoke of Clark being best, of drivers they knew. Jim Clark, 2 time F1 World Champion (& near champion several other years, but Lotus unreliability). Commanding winner 1965 Indy, 2nd in '63 & '66. British Touring Car Champion -- Lotus Ford Cortina, tipping the Cortinas on the edge of control... Jim's racing death is a lot of what spurred his friend Jackie Stewart to push and pull for safety advances in racers and tracks.
@@95bochamp I think we can at least say AJ Foyt is almost certainly the best driver to have never raced in F1. Regardless of who the best driver of that time period actually was, I think it's really cool that guys back then raced in so many different series. I understand why they don't nowadays but I think it would be awesome (and probably hilarious) to see Max Verstappen trying to win the Daytona 500.
Look how low that wall is ... and how close the spectators are to the track. Seemed normal then, not so much now. And seeing AJ climb the fence ... priceless. Memories of '64 still clearly fresh.
I believe the wall was 18 inches tall. It wasn't raised until Nascar came in 1994
It was tough being a race fan back then in the days of no live televised race coverage. Taped "highlights" of a race on Wide World of Sports was about the best you could hope for, which was an exercise in near futility. Just when you were really getting into something exiting like the Indy or Daytona 500 they'd cut away to coverage of something the polar opposite of auto racing, like figure skating semi-finals from Helsinki, or a PBA Pro-Am bowling tournament from Akron.
i was born and raised 2 miles from State Fair park in west allis in 60s/70s. Home of the Milwaukee Mile. Hales Corners 1/4 dirt hosted, various stock car divisions, usac midgets and was 5 miles away. not to mention midwest region soap box derby was on my street corner once a year. I was very lucky lol
I attended this race, my third 500.
jrmcg1955 are you still attending
The most flying tires you will ever see in your life😂. My mom and dad both went to this race. He tried to take pics with Kodak Instamatic but was only able to see the cloud of smoke from all of the debris. I went to my 1st Indy 500 in 1979 and again 1980. Rick Mears 1st of 4 wins and Johnny Rutherford 3rd win. Still a great spectacle even today😊
I have never seen so many tyres flying around like that before in my life
that was like the 82 indy race beginning also... what a mess
Brought to you by... Firestone... & the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company! BTW, in more recent years, there are 'keeper' cables on the wheels-tires so they don't go flying --& potentially kill or injure people.
Legend has it those same tyres are still flying around today..
Yes me to i even which nascar never seen that much wheels
WHAT I THE JOE
I was in turn one, 16 years old at Indy that year., and young. I Loved A.J. Foyt By then,From Eldora Speedway. Half of the field, "P. Jones , Andretti, Unser's, Gurney...". Sprint Cars bombed my family, "us 7 kids", with dirt ball roost in turn 1 , ...at your Track Tony Stewart, with Earl Baltas watering the track. We were very young at Eldora in the Mid 50s onward. Thanks for keeping it Real Tony. " 4-wheel Open Cock Pit... Gasoline Powered"....and better fire safety
I was 6. My family just moved to the Indy area, east side. My dad was sad that the race wasn't on TV, so we listened on the radio and started a family tradition. Picnic in the backyard while listening and picking names out of a hat who would win. The winner just got bragging rights.
Never heard Dan Gurney sounding so pissed off before. He usually stayed pretty cool.
I never _heard_ Dan Gurney before
@@fabianrocha9924
You must be young. Gurney was on TV all the time. He owned a team in the IndyCar series for years and was one of the founders of CART. He was interviewed practically before and during every race. Stuff like, "Well, how's your car look today?" Gurney was a cool cat, and you never saw him angry, except this time.
11 people are disappointed that the "agony of defeat" clip is not the ski crash.
God all those immortal drivers, even Jackie and the Europeans. And those cars?! Parnelli Jones in the AC Agajanian #98 “special” - they won in 1963. Agajanian was the guy behind Ascot Park in Gardena, another self-made legend of an immigrant family.
Dave auf dem BMW idk why no guys are cool enough to name their cars specials anymore I love that
I remember watching this race in a movie theater with my dad back when they only showed the Indy on close-circuit TV.
thats how i saw my first ever race after hearing the race cars racing at Milwaukee Mile from my back yard up to 7 years old. 1969 Indy 500 and it brought Mario….and Mr. Granitelli..the only luck they ever had there 😉majeska theater
Nice thumbnail too - Pat Vidan was the quintessential flag man. The Matador.
This is friggin awesome. Brave men matched only by the soldiers
1966. My favourite Indianapolis 500 of all time apart from many others.
If I remember right, the most serious injury from the big wreck was by A.J. Foyt, who cut his finger climbing the fence.
This is the same year I was born , & the same month that they have the indy 500 , my birthday is May 9th ! 👍😊🏎🏎🏎
1:36 In reference to " You will see the 500 in color ". but this vid being in black and white. In the early days, video tape was expensive so many programs ( color or not ) once recorded were transferred to black and white film. There is a procedure that can extract the color info from artifacts in the BW picture.
I know you can extract color information from a kinescope of a PAL broadcast. I'm not sure you can do it from an NTSC tape.
Surprised to see this year @Indianapolis Motor Speedway Thank you for the great content and not reposting something already on the @IndyCar channel
I love the old footage and Chris Schenkel. Chris has the weird pronunciation of the letter I. Endianpolis, Endy 500 , Fenished, Wenner. Great race! Crazy Pileup. Reminded me of 1973's Salt Walther crash on turn one.
It's a decidedly midwestern accent. Back in my radio days, our production director figured out my family came from Wisconsin by the way I pronounced the word "milk". I put an 'e' in there so it was "melk"
@@almostfm Chris is from north central Indiana. His I/E pronunciation is not an Indiana accent. I’ve never heard that pronunciation having lived here for 65 years.
Now you Wisconsin folks do sound kinda’ funny.
AJ was like, "Fuck it - I'll go sit in the stands for a while..."
Look at a young Jackie Stewart in THIS RACE!!! He was so sacred of this race.
The year of the snafued scoring. No one was ever 100% certain who actually won. The scoreboard kept changing back and forth between Hill and Clark. And one source said Johncock was the actual winner because he wasn't credited with a lap at the beginning of the race during the confusion over the crash.
Wow that was such a great race to watch from such a great time with the greatest of drivers, it made my eyes water a little
This the first 500 I attended. That “rookie” from England took it. Still remember.
What's most impressive is the 1986 race from this race. Go watch the 1986 race, that was the FIRST time it was televised LIVE. Look how modern the cars looked (for being 37 years ago!!!) , and yet 1986 was only 20 years after this race here the 1966. Look how different just 20 years made from the 1960s to 80s. Amazing.
This is awesome in HD!
It's amazing how many Great Racers were in this one Race, also, quite a few famous future "Car Owners," were Driving here, as well,...thanks!
Looks like a tire or two went into the stands. Glad no one was seriously hurt.
The sound effects are frightening indeed
The 1960's, the golden era of auto racing
What about NASCAR in the 90s
There's not a form of motorsport in which the cars from ~65-68 didn't look better than anything since.
All though I'm thankful this material still exists and it is being made available on RUclips. Like much of the historic video footage today, It's not in the best of condition. Now days we have high definition video of everything including today's boring, generic looking cars and personalities.
The 60s were the golden era of everything that existed then.
I think any decade was golden in the past. The current decade will be also remember as a golden one, and others in the future will be :). But please remember, the rate of fatal accidents in the 60’s was quite high, comparing with 70s 80s and the following decades (please check Wikipedia to certify yourself). Of course, in sports racing there’s always a continuous learning process. And for sure the 60s contributed significantly for more safer races in the following decades.
This is so friggin awesome. Bravest men since ww2/Korea/Nam
Agreed Thanks for including the Korean war👍
@@danieljohnstone6805 how could i NOT include it
Graham Hill is the only driver to have won the Indy 500, Le Mans, and the world formula one championship which includes Monaco.
Correct! And if Clark was as great as people claim, why did he not win at Monaco?
Neat looking cars
The BEST!
The 60s and 70s for the Indy 500 are so interesting. Lots of technical revolutions - rear engine cars which had taken over by 66 - in 1967 the turbine - then turbochargers - then the wings - along with tires to handle all that speed and downforce - amazing advancement.
Jim Wichert from the early 60s to the early 90s look at the advancement. Since then not so much however there have been huge safety advancements since then but innovation in terms of the cars needs to come back to the speedway
Jackie Stewart very classy man. This when you did race by the seat of your pants.
Wanted to go, but no one would go with me! I was attending the Univ of Dayton only a couple of hours from Indy! Some great drivers there!
go on your own! i used to go places on my own because the others couldn't leave the pub! 😊

Can't get used to the added squeal sounds...especially when they are sliding in the grass. :v
Biggest opening lap crash I've seen in the 500, would see something much more bigger later on in this race's history (1973 edition).
1080 p ??
That's because it WAS the biggest crash in the history of the Indianapolis 500. 16 cars involved and exactly one-third of the field (11 cars) eliminated. It wasn't as bad as the crashes in 1958 (15 cars involved, seven eliminated) and 1973 (11 cars involved), because there were no injuries, except for A.J. Foyt cutting his hand climbing the catchfencing, but this was the largest crash in the history of the Indianapolis 500.
Cool cat Graham Hill
R.I.P. Walt Disney (1901-1966)
The FAMOUS Race that screwed up the Lap Count, and Jimmy Clark was the Real Winner. The Greatest Driver of All-Time in my opinion. But Jackie Stewart and Mario are up there in the Top 10 Ever as well. Stacked Field of Legends.
Oh, of Course! Dan Gurney. And of course Hill. Jeez what a Line Up!

1966 Indianapolis 500 meters
My first 500! It seemed like it took forever to get the race restarted
I live when he’s explaining the track to ppl and the graphic is a diagram of the track with someone’s hand pointing at the different turns that are being explained 😂
Nice jewel of the Indy 500
I recall a story I read, in Circle Track Magazine perhaps. Graham Hill was at Salem Speedway and was in absolute awe of the USAC sprint cars on the high banks. It may have been Parnelli Jones who offered him a seat in his car for hot laps, and Graham wouldn't have anything to do with it. I believe he thought you had to be insane to race in such a car at that track. Frankly, I think he was right. Salem has claimed it's share of drivers over the years.
Went to Salem several times in the 70s following Rollie Beale. Scary fast track.
It was probably the primitive suspension design of the sprint cars that frightened him the most.
I feel like the guys out there today are insane lol imagine running those banks in the sprinters of those days. Wow
@@jrmcg1955 I was about 14 when I met Rollie Beale. Went with Paul Strasser from Sandusky to Rollies house to look at his sprint car. Saw him race at Fremont . I remember his brother Al too.
Looking at Sprintcars from Europe IS indeed frightening 😰
This must have been one of the races that gave ppl the idea to tether the wheels lol that wreck at the start was nothing but a giant cloud and tires flying everywhere 😂and some very realistic crash sounds
Wasn't required until 1999. I was at the Michigan race that year when Fernandez tire went into stands.
@@jamesmagers7634 I was going to say the same thing. I was there that day too but didn't see the tire leave the track area. My dad did and turned to me to say it looked like something flew into the crowd. I didn't believe him at first because the top of the fencing curved out towards the track and I didn't think it was possible that the fence wouldn't catch any debris from a collision with the outside wall. It's too bad that happened because the Hanford device made that race absolutely bonkers. I remember everyone in the crowd standing and cheering for like the first ten laps because of how often the lead was changing.
That tire leaving the top left of the screen at 9:23 completely baffles my mind...that thing is moving so fast it looks like a bad video effect...yet its real.
I cant believe nobody was killed by flying tires or debris. Its a miracle
Graham Hill rookie? I don't blame him for being upset, as he was a legendary Grand Prix driver.
Indy's definition of a rookie is strange
@@GeorgeAshburn
They had a good reason when they put in the rookie orientation at the beginning because back then any rich dude could buy a fast car and get into the race, so they wanted to weed the ones out who just shouldn't be racing. But, yeah, the probably should waive it for guys like Graham Hill, LOL. It does give them a chance to get some extra practice in, so it does no harm except to sensitive egos. Also, if drivers like Dennis Vitolo could still pass the rookie test, maybe it isn't hard enough.
RRaquello probably a chance at extra cash too right someone is gonna win rookie of the year. Plus if ya win the whole thing you get the distinction of being a rookie winner so that just puts you in the history book again. And if you’re old it’s a good reason to say your not lol I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to be a rookie
"Rookie" here means "driving in the Indy 500 for the first time" not "driving in a race for the first time".
if you take a picture of a low res picture with a high res camera what do you get?
Woah! I didn’t know Jackie and Graham was in Indy!
I saw the accident from the opposite side of the track as an excited 13 year old.
scott offord man thats so cool I wish I could have seen races from this era and see it what it really looked like not in footage like this it really messes with how you picture it I feel like
Killian Ryan I was able to attend three races for free because my mom worked for a real estate developer who bought tickets for clients and had some left. I got to have lunch at a club and ride a golf cart to the track. Pretty cool stuff for a Hoosier teenager! I remember riding in a Jaguar coup
Killian Ryan jaguar with a sunroof that a friend of my father owned. We drove under the track to the infield and Mr Pike LET HER RIP to hear the jag sing in the tunnel! Fun stuff
Whereever THIS came from.....do you access to MORE ABC races from the 60s and early 70s? Soooo many NASCAR and especially INDY races not posted from places like Trenton
I am so glad Chris Shenkel carefully showed us the diagram of the track. I am new to the sport and would have been lost with such technical terms as "oval," "corner," and "straight-away."
Since handheld color cameras weren't put into use until the fall of 1967, I suspect that film cameras were used in the pits and in the blimp (with their footage later transferred to videotape) while color TV cameras were used in "fixed" locations and their footage also videotaped. All the tapes were then edited together for the telecast shown here, which isn't the official race film, but an edited videotape that aired on "Wide World Of Sports" about a week later.
As I previously noted, this is a black-and-white kinescope.
A color vid can be generated, ,look up " Color recovery using chroma crawl "
8:27 (commentator) and 8:55 (onscreen) - that was how quick the (front engined) roadsters had more or less vanished from this race forever by 1966 - just 1 qualified and on the back row - by contrast in 1964 there were just 2 rear engined cars (on the front row) and i think another one a little further back - i think the first one appeared in 1961 but by 1963 one of those little cars began to dominate the race and every other driver was soon forced to copy it.
Why can't we recreate the era of manly elegance?

Because the character of the American people has been declining. The American founders were men and women of the tribe of Ephryim of Israel. All prophecies to Israel are pointing to the United States of America. Because of being the leading tribe/nation of the 10 northern tribes who seceded from Yahudah/Judah after Sholomo/Solomon's passing. The country named State of Israel is named Judah in the English versions. A multitude of nations; 50, the Almighty's number for Freedom, and the United States has been the freest nation on Earth. It is obedience dependent.

Hello, is there video of Slavko ( Pete) Romcevic of his last race? He is my cousin.
It's amazing to think coming off this running they didn't look to make the kind of safety changes they would after the infamous 1973 running forced them to. Most obvious one to me was the entrance to pit lane that could been moved to where it would be in 1974 and eliminated some of the trees in that spot (that eventually were eliminated by the 1974 changes).
Do you know if there has been a report on what really caused Swede Savages accident. That incident and its aftermath is terrible to the degree of haunting. :(☮️
@@aureliobrighton1871 The report was too much fuel on cold tires from what I understand it caused that. One of the biggest changes made for the 1974 edition of the "500" was the size of the fuel tank was reduced to a little over half of what it had been (from 75 gallons of fuel down to 40), adding some safety features where part of the fuel tank had been. You look back and ask why that was not done earlier, especially not only after this accident but the one that took the lives of two drivers two years earlier. It took the '73 edition to force those changes.
@@WaltGekko Thankyou Walt. I agree, more often than not our 'learning curves' obviously are determined by pretty dubious motives. Such fuel load (1/5th) strapped to fragile sheets and tubes before a redhot engine IS one recipe for disaster. Take care.
Most cars involved in Opening Lap in the most in Indianapolis 500 History?
The Americans must have been flipping out at the prospect of three F1 stars, Stewart, Hill and Clark, finishing 1-2-3 at Indy, especially after Clark's win the year before.
Yeah, The British Invasion wasn't just about The Beatles and great music.
I was a huge Jimmy Clark/Lotus/Colin Chapman fan.......from Ohio
Not at all. You simply don't understand Indy fans. Indy is a WORLD race. It's open to all and all are welcome. The fans are fantastic too. People LOVED Clark.
The stands were still packed after Clark's win the year before so I don't think it waa problem. Probably added to the excitement if anything.

USAC officials stopped scoring Clark for 2 laps after his spin.they thought he was out of the race. OOPS!!!!
At least since another British guy won they can't say they did it to favor an American driver like they did when Parnelli beat Clark.
The one dude driving the roadster at the back of the field headed for the start almost looks like a mistake. Amid all the futuristic-looking sleek machines there's one driver---half his entire body is up and out of the car!
Tony Perkins I had to go back to see that’s hilarious. Pretty impressive he made the race at all not to mention out qualified two rear engines and who knows how many others that’s didn’t make the race.
DONT DO THE STUPID 25/8 rule. For the 500 next year WE NEED BUMP DAY
I'm David Land and I approve this message.
Yes.
The Wide World of Sports mantra comes to mind. We will always have the thrill of victory at the end, but to coddle the agony of defeat with a 25/8 rule rips the excitement out of qualifying.

Too few entries for bump day. Money is the reason. I believe that there are only 34 entries this year.

This seems to be the oldest ABC footage of an Indy 500 that exists. This also I believe was the last filmed in black and white (the next year, 1967 was in color). Back then, the race would be shown I believe 10-15 days after the 500 was run in this format because Tony Hulman, like many sports owners of the day feared television would take away from the live gate and the networks back then were unwilling to pay anywhere close to what they pay now for sports rights (to where I suspect eventually, Roger Penske will be forced to install lights at Indy so NBC can have the Indy 500 on Saturday night instead of Sunday to get it away from Monaco and the Coca-Cola 600).
The start of this race was in many ways a precursor to what we would see seven years later with the infamous 1973 edition that is likely forever the worst race of all time.

Could you please not "burn" the black bars into the left and right of the video?
RUclips will handle a 1440x1080 non-widescreen video just fine with 1080p being available and everything, but manually padding the video to 1920px wide just makes fullscreen a poor experience for anybody watching this on a display with an aspect ratio taller than 16:9 such as the multitude of 16:10 tablets, 3:2 laptops, and 4:3 iPads.
wow $12 for some firestones.
120mph on the straight? Surely they were faster than that in 66?
I think he meant 120 in the short chute.
Main stretch speeds were pushing 200 at this time, hence the 160+/- qualifying speeds.

Why did AJ Foyt climb over the fence 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏼♂️
He probably figured that it was safer to get crowdside of the fence rather than trackside. And with all that shit flying around AND the threat of a serious fire, who can blame him?!
BTW Legend has it that the story of the confusion ended like this. Hill had already entered Victory Lane and had been presented with the trophy...and the milk. When his victory was questioned, Hill announced: "I won, mate! I drank the milk!" Case closed...

Graham hill wins

In reality Jim Clark also won in 1966 Indy, the race control made mistakes when counting the laps.
JIM CLARK - By far the greatest driver ever - no doubt. He is and was the Best of the Best. No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark.
This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps...For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just four examples of his mesmeric unique genius...
Well now, if Clark was as good as you say, why did he NEVER win the Monaco Grand Prix? Why did he never win the 24 hours of Le Mans? Or even come close to winning the Triple Crown of Motor Sports?
Monaco: Simple - Due technical failure - but 4 poles from 7 participations..in the word of Nigel Roebuck: "At Monaco, none was ever better through the streets." Le Mans: Because Chapman ignore this race, after his war with the french officials. Clark`s record in 1965 is unmatched until today. No other pilot in history won so many races in a year, F1 Worldchampion, Indy winner, F 2 winner, Touring car winner.....round about 50 (!) wins...@@N3794N
Monaco: He never won there only due to mechanical failures - But 4 poles from just 6 starts !!! In the words of Nigel Roebuck: "None was ever better through the streets..." Nothing to add. Le Mans: Chapman had no intention to start there, beacuse of his personal war with the french officials.
In 1965 Clark received a record that no other driver ever can matched: F1 World Champion, F1 Tasman-Series Winner, Indy-Winner, F2 and Touring car Champion, totally about 50 (!) wins in this year.... !!!
This was when the Indy 500 was a part of the F1 championship.
Incorrect. The Indianapolis 500 was part of the World Manufacturers' Championship (between 1925-1928) and the Formula One World Championship (between 1950-1960).
@Andrew Ongais Are you related to Danny Ongais?
@Andrew Ongais He could certainly wheel a car around a track or in a straight line. And drove for some class teams.

@@daverotroff6873 I've always thought it was weird that F1 drivers only started showing up at Indy after it was no longer part of the F1 championship. I think Alberto Ascari was the only F1 driver to attempt the 500 in the 50s.
