Trackside at the Indy 500!

This clip is about as far from broadcast-quality video as you can get, but I think that’s what makes it so cool. When you watch the race on the tube, it’s impossible to grasp how incredibly fast the cars are moving, because there are fancy cameras—which probably cost more than a new BMW—constantly tracking them. But chalk one up for my trusty little $200 Casio, as it manged to capture exactly how it looks when the cars come ripping past with the hammer down. Enjoy.
