Part two of four of an hour long recording from Race Day 1980 on radio station WIBC in Indianapolis. In this fifteen minute recording you will hear traffic reports with Paul Casey. During this particular part of the broadcast, Big John Gillis' whirlybird had mechanical and technical issues so you do not hear John in this part. But you do hear Sunday morning dj Orly Knutson. As one would expect on race day, there are some pre race info before the Indy 500, and a few commercials from Olympia Beer,The Great Western Boots, J.C. Penny, Bryant Heating and Cooling, Chesty Potato Chips, and Don Sisk Pontiac, and WIBC jingles. Also this was from a time when WIBC played music about once a quarter
Remember when they would play Spike Jones' "Dance Of The Hours", along with "The Ballad Of A. J. Foyt" and "The Ballad Of Jimmie Clark"?
