It just blows my mind sometimes how many cool things are floating around on the internet. Ryan at The Jalopy Journal has just come across this full colour video of the 1941 Indy 500. Just a warning though, this is one to watch at home with a nice cold beverage as it is a full 29:57 long!

Great find thanks for sharing! It took tough guys to endure 500 miles in these machines.
I snt that one to a good friend of mine and he wrote back….
That video is a gem, Gary. I enjoyed seeing the variety of cars, upright dirt track cars, roadster Indy cars, rear engine car, perhaps a
front-wheel -drive car. AAA sanction, pit boards, white duck pants, all-girl drum and bugle corps, etc. Here is a link to some still photos.
