Different times. The Indy 500 had such an aura back then. It was huge. Even the taped-delayed ABC broadcast had an aura that, when it ended, had you ready for more and anxiously awaiting next year. The 50's and 80's were Indy's golden decades. The two best of the 10 it had been run. Now it is a shell of its self and greatly diminished, lacking the aura that made this 1983 Indianapolis 500 and many others so great.
In This Clip, From 8:13 To 9:26, It Was ABC Sports' The Indianapolis 500 Video Close From Sunday Afternoon, May 29, 1983.
