1965 Indianapolis 500 Film

No copyright infringement is intended with this, or any other video I upload. The purpose of uploading this video is for the viewing pleasure for those that watch it. This is the 49th running of the Indianapolis 500, run on May 31, 1965. One year after the disasters of the 1964 event, which saw two drivers burn to death and two others get seriously burned, the 1965 race saw one of the safest races in Indy history. The race was best known for three things. The first was the runaway performance by Jim Clark, which was really a combination of all three major forms of racing, Formula 1, IndyCar, and NASCAR. The second thing this race was known for was the incredible rookie crop, perhaps the best ever, and the third was the astounding failure of a racing legend to even make the field.
