@@markpimlott2879 I am very interested in Indianapolis 500 history but an 'historian'? I've met Donald Davidson and wouldn't claim to be on that level. Lotus built 3 cars for Indy in 1963 and Ford provided engines for them. They were 255 CID push rod V8 engines adapted from production Fairlane V8 and produced about 350 HP, which was significantly less than the Offy. On a handling track like Milwaukee they made up in cornering speed what they lost in the straights. At Indianapolis they were slower but ran the race with only one stop which put them up front at the finish. Gurney had wrecked one of the 3 chassis and was running what they called the "Mule" or developmental chassis at Indy and I assume Milwaukee and it was never as fast as the race chassis that Clark and he were to have both run. Lotus sold the Indy chassis and they came back in 1964 with Bobby Marshman and AJ Foyt (I think) running them but Foyt didn't trust his and ran another car that won 1964. Bobby Marshman was impressive in his Lotus Ford and lead many laps in the year old car until he scraped the oil pan and tore out the drain plug. The 1964 Ford Indy engine was a new design with DOHC heads instead of the push rod engine of 1963 and was more powerful than the Offy engines. The Lotus crew was very impressed with what Marshman had done with the year old car and had decided to have him drive as Clark's teammate in 1965 but a fatal accident in late 1964 took Marshman's life. Foyt was not impressed with the standards of construction of the Lotus and had it built more strongly for 1965 and it became the basis of the design for the first "Coyote" chassis that Foyt racing used and won the 1967 Indianapolis race.

Thanks for posting this, but you've posted it in the wrong TV aspect. You've posted it in 16x9, which makes everything look wider, as opposed to the old regular TV aspect of 4x3. It looks strange!
Notice how Ed Elisian seems angry and appears to shoo away the cameraman. I wonder why he was acting that way? It was said that he was trying to improve his reputation in the weeks before his death.
Death was so commonplace in auto racing back then, but was sanitized in the coverge here of so-called 'bad boy' racer Ed Elesian at about 12:30 'in the 200 mile race in 1959! 😥 😔 ⛪️ 😟 🙁 PS A tragic litany of racing deaths that Ed was involved with, most or all not his fault!

Clark won in 1965, his third attempt. He had a (Dunlop) tire chunk tread and the imbalance broke the suspension in 1964. Dunlop never came back.

This makes me glad that IndyCar is returning to Milwaukee this year
Nice🤝
Glad your posting these classic races. Well done!
I used to go to the Milwaukee Mile in the 90s for the Busch race and the IndyCar race I saw the 100 year anniversary race and it was the first night race ever
pretty sure that Miller truck still exists.
I also saw Davey Allison's last race it was a Busch Race. The following week he wrecked a helicopter at Talladega
Absolutely Great
Excellent, thanks
THANK YOU, this is amazing stuff.
Fantastic video Thank you
Real nice films.🏁🏆🏆🏁
Ah, the good old days. You don't see the likes of Max Verstappen 'gamely gunning for position' on the opening lap.
THIS, is grande, mes amis !
Steve, fix the aspect ratio. Drivers and cars aren't wide like this.
