2018 Indy 500 Experience from Turn 1

This video shows you first hand what it is like to watch the Indy 500 from the turn 1 grand stands. I wanted to make this video to show all the festivities and the start of the race.
Sorry about the shaky camera in certain parts. If you have never been to this race it is a once in a lifetime experience.
At the end of the race we try and leave quickly so we aren't stuck in traffic for 3 hours trying to get home. That is why the ending of the race is a little shaky and quick.

One of these years I'll get there

I've been there every year since 1980 this year I'll be watching from my couch, I know how hard it is to film and watch ,Thanks for the coverage.

[@Briansv8]

Good footage. Been there many times. Formula one races too. Always a great time

[@LauraRN713]

Thanks so much for posting this!! I’m not too far down from you to your left every year! This coming May will be my 11th in a row 😊

[@Dawgs241]

Been to Daytona and Texas many times but never Indy. I hope one day to make it there to see the 500. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thanks for this! 2018 was the first year I attended the 500 (I was in the Turn 2 grandstand about 2/3 of the way up). I really enjoyed my experience. Hope to get back someday!

I‘ve been to Indy for MotoGP twice already, I definitely have to come back for an Indy500!🇩🇪✈️🇺🇸

[@HDTVETC]

Amazing! Watching this from Brazil.

[@RSDX99]

I wondered how the view was from down there. We were in the A penthouse and it sure was hot in the sun until

[@lincolnmitchell471]

Almost like being there. Nice camera work. Thanks!

[@CamaroTime]

Typing this as I watch....So I might miss something....Thank God, people still remember what this day is for. Not one single, over paid athlete there kneeling!! OMG!!!!! TAPS baby....Goosebumps galore.....The B2 was awesome!! Had a squadron of B1s go over the house one time in the first Gulf War. You could not hear them but because they were over the US they had to have their running lights on......It was a sight. Still weird not having Jim Neighbors sing Back Home Again. But this guy did a great job. Big shoes to fill but he did great! ………..Excellent footage. You guys had killer seats. Right where the wrecks normally happen at. Guy I use to work with gets to go every year as a photographer. He actually got to come up inside the pit wall before. They have access that runs under the track. Has some killer photos. One day I pray I can see one in person before my time here is done.....Excellent video. Thank you for the time effort, and for taking us a long

[@OuzoLouGarage]

Cool how the military get a lap around Indy . You had great seat and love the sound of the Indy cars

[@yoRRnl]

Very cool to witness your point of view. It really gives the feeling of speed! I hope some day to vissit the US and watch an Indy with my own eyes. Funny to see the race is like 2 hours.. and you can add 2 hours extra's before the race for all the ceremony's haha. A bit over the top for me (my 2 cents). Cheers! ;)

I've been to the Daytona 500, I really want to go to the Indy 500 one year.

Thanks for sharing.

The best sporting event in the world

[@ElwoodBruise39]

I had wanted to go to the Indy 500 my entire life. This year, my 44th year, I finally made it! We were sitting along the front stretch about 3 rows up straight across from Will Power's pit stall by the scoring tower. The entire day I was just sitting/standing there in a daze...like 'I can't believe I'm actually HERE!" I shot one quick video I posted on here of one of the early laps to show my friends, but mostly I just wanted to soak everything in without thinking about recording it. For those who ask if it's worth it; if you're a fan of motorsport and it's even slightly crossed your mind about going, definitely do it! It's the most legendary race in the world and definitely worth the journey for this amazing experience. Best of all, I made my buddy in St Louis (who I stayed with & took to the race) an Indy 500 fan. So we're going again in 2019 & however many more times we can while we can. Great video & thanks for bringing back memories of not only the highlight of my 2018, but one of the 3 or 4 best days of my life!
