2018 Indy 500 Experience from Turn 1 

Bill Dineen It’s worth going to just once!

Are you far away??

Bill Dineen same

Yeah me too! maybe same year lol. But kidding aside I really do want to see the race Live at the track one day.

Got to there is nothing else like it. And it is a all day event. I don't miss it.

Rob C. It’s definitely going to be different to watch this year! You are welcome!

Brian Gaddis Thanks! Definitely always a great time.

Man Id love to see F1 run here

What was F1 like, sans 2005 I mean.

LauraRN713 You are welcome! This was my first time in these seats! We don’t get to go every year but have been several times.

It’s a great even toy experience that’s for sure. I’ve been to it many times and it never disappoints

You are welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thank you!

Dawgs241 I have been to Indy many times and never Daytona! Haha We need to switch spots. You are welcome is such a great event.

Good video but it dose not do justice to size of the even. I love it.

MeanBee392 Thank You! Hopefully you can make the race one of these years. You are welcome! I’m not the greatest cameraman but it didn’t turn out to bad.

FAB Automotive Detailing it would be cool to be able to make it out! I think you did a great job filming!

Thank you! It’s not easy trying to record and pay attention to the race. 😆

boateng24 The 500 needs to be experienced atleast once.

HMU. Let’s do this Germany 🇩🇪. It’s truth in advertising - an absolute SPECTACLE. ❤️

We know how to do it here in Indy! We respect our flag, country and especially our military. Even thought there are over 300,000 people every year at the race, when Taps is played you could hear a pin drop its so quiet. The B2 was awesome and very quiet which surprised me. He did a great job with back home again. Yeah there weren't any wrecks in turn 1 this year. They usually always happen on restarts that's why I filmed all the restarts but of course nothing happened. It would be awesome to be a photographer at the race because of the access you have at that the track. Hopefully one day you can make it up here to see it. Video cameras aren't allowed in the speedway but my wife kinda snuck it in for me. I was the only person recording the race on a real camera. Of course everybody had their phones out but my Cannon video camera takes a lot better HD videos. I almost didn't take it in because if they would have said I couldn't bring it in then I really didn't want to walk all the way back to the car so I gambled and got lucky. Thank you and you are welcome. I hope it gave you a good glimpse of what its like in the stands. I have been a lot of Indy 500's but this was by far the hottest one I have been too.

BTW the Corvette pace car was awesome! Also the Orange Camaro’s the speedway employees drove all month was awesome as well. You could see them lined up in the video when we first walked up. You may not know this but every year the speedway gives all the employees brand new Camaro’s to drive all month to promote the race. Then they go to dealers to sell after the race. I would love to have one of this years cars. You can look it up online to see what it looks like.

Never knew that thanks FAB

ouzo lou you are welcome. The entire month of May the track has something going on. There are so many traditions at the track that most people that don’t live near Indianapolis have no idea even happen.

One of the orange ones is my dream car! I would take that over a luxury car in a second

ouzo lou Yes every year they honor the military like that. They also do swearing in ceremonies for new recruits. Indy cars do sound good!

You are welcome!

Kyle Cooley Yes it is!

One Super Bowl, 2 World Series, 1 NBA Championship, countless NHRA Nats, 2 PGA Finals (eg, not the Masters)... besides playoffs & GP / MotoGP weekends to boot... I am not yet aware of anything that compares to Indy 500 race day. It’s the entire package. Edit: 3 shuttle launches. Best to go ahead & throw those in the mix for good measure.

*in America

RD I have sat in the penthouse they are great seats. I have pretty much viewed this race from every stand at the track. It’s so much fun to watch this race.

Giovanni Tirado I’ve been to the Indy 500 and would love to go the Daytona 500! Haha It’s worth seeing for sure.

Man nothing like it

I’ve been to Daytona, Talledega, and Indy... plus some F1 & Top Fuel & MotoGP races... the only one I keep coming back to is Indy. It’s just... different. The entire environment. The pre-race. The speeds. The sounds. The traditions. The... Spectacle. ❤️

What was Daytona 500 like?

@@ethanweeter2732 I like to sit up close in the lower rows, its an amazing feeling of 40 cars all together going by. You constantly think they are gonna wreck, because they easily can at any time. When they do wreck, all you hear is screeching, and the metal chairs folding as everyone stands up lol. It's really fun, MRN has amazing commentary at the track too

Yes he is definitely missed!

yoRRnl Yes TV does not do it justice! It’s actually a great time before the race. We usually get there 4-5 hours early otherwise you sit in traffic for hours and may not see the beginning of the race. So the 2 hour pre race is actually nice and makes time go by.

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Thanks for your reply! ;)

yoRRnl You are welcome!

RGV Shooter Yeah they are great seats!

ElwoodBruise39 Glad you got to see it first hand! The pre race ceremonies are what make this such a special event. I live about 30 minutes from the track well at least on non race days! Haha About 3 hours on RaceDay. I have been fortunate enough to attend several Indy 500’s and have taken my kids also so they can experience it also. Thanks for watching

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing That's one thing we learned; we got tired of going nowhere in the car, so we took the first parking spot we could find (I figure it was about 2 miles away) and walked there faster than everyone else was driving. Which was a good idea, but was a little rougher considering the 90+ degrees it was (haha)

ElwoodBruise39 Yesbit was one of the hottest ones I can remember! Luckily turn 1 where we sat was in the shade for almost the entire race. We could see turn 4 and they were getting baked the whole race.

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing the funny thing is that on our pre-trip shopping spree the night before, we forgot sunscreen. We thought "no problem, we'll just get some on the way." We stopped at every gas station & travel stop Illinois & Indiana had to offer & none of them had sunscreen! Luckily, we bought a small tube for a large price from one of the locals while on that 2 mile trek to the track (lol)

Congratulations on making it. I live close to the Speedway and go every year. Working on my 34th. I love it every year as much as I did the first time. Greatest race course and race in the world.

Keith Hickrod Thanks!

Ftr NW Vista ftw lol but I can certainly appreciate the scene from these seats. Nicely done indeed. 😎👍

Wicked Fabz It is a lot of fun and always great racing. I have been to several Indy 500’s and Brickyard 400’s but this was by far the hottest one. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Always and amazing time. Go!

Charles McDonald Yes just to the left of it

Brian Fassbender Definitely something that you need to experience!

Diamond Rainbowz Turn 1 usually has a few crashes but none this year.

Lol

So you go to a race to watch crashes? 😕 always thought the way europeans think about spectators at US Racing is wrong. In Europe we go to a racetrack to watch intense battles, not crashes...

Käikkönen I’d like to see a crash NOT through TV one day. Thats why I was mad. I want to see what they are like through my eyes not video

@@janellerex7271 yes, that's what many poeple in europe think of americans. In europe noone wants to see a crash in Eau Rouge for example, we'd rather see them going side by side through that very fast chicane. Noone in europe likes to see injured or dead poeple

johnnypro Yes there is plenty of trash cans around the track. The younger generation doesn’t care and just throw their cans/trash wherever they want to.

I agree

It’s such a blast!

Krisztián They are a lot quieter now. Back just a few years ago headphones were a must now it’s not bad at all when they fly by. I still wear headphones to listen to the race on the radio to know what’s going on.

Vinnie Birrueta It is a great sound!

Yes it was

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing those seats look pretty good. I bought tickets for this year in the section. Looking forward to it.

@@kevinpugh1919 they are great seats!

Marino Valente Yep we made it out quick! Speed walking like no other. 😂

FAB Automotive Detailing nice. I've been to Indy for the f1 race in 2007 but never for the 500. I've always wanted to go to the 500.

Marino Valente It is definitely worth experiencing atleast once. The festivities before the race are just as good as the race.

FreddyBoy23 YT It is a great place to sit!

Thomas Hamilton Yep that’s when the racing starts! I wanted to show the whole experience because a lot of people will never get to see this amazing event first hand.

Brant Dietrich Thanks! I don’t wear hats as often as I used to but I always wear hat at races to block the sun.

FAB Automotive Detailing I do too I was at that race with my colts hat on in turn 3

Anthony Zuk We live east of Indy on I70 and made home in 45 minutes after the race. If you speed walk like we always do as soon as the race is over traffic isn’t bad at all. We only park 1/2 mile from our seats though.

Joseph Gangi Thanks! I also was in Stand E Box 29 Row C seats 15&16. So I was right in front of you!

Ok my wife corrected me we were in box 32.

FAB Automotive Detailing if you’re in section 32, you’re probably somewhere in the shot of the start when I pan to the right. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ml5_Gp0JCAI.html

Joseph Gangi I will check it out! Thanks

Formula lol • 33 years ago I’ve never heard it called that. It’s called the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. I agree especially at the track it’s not fan friendly because you can only see a 1/4 of the track no matter where you sit. It’s basically just the biggest party in the world. 😂 Back in the early years of the race it was very challenging and tiring mentally and physically for the drivers.

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing I can agree on that. Personally I think the audience in some f1 races are more loud and a bigger party. Indy 500 is big but I have seen monza and there are so many viewers and fans + the racing is amazing

Oh they have them everywhere but people get drunk and stupid and throw it all over the place.

Thanks!

John Bodnar I know what it means!

coth Yeah I have never understood that either.

Nicholas Meyer Thanks! We are almost there! Haha
