1995 Indiana short track highlight film
 

First of several annual video highlight films I made for friends back in the 90s. Shot on Hi8 and edited on a Video Toaster. Features a young Tony Stewart flipping off Dan Drinan at IRP, a car in the Paragon pond, Kenny Rogers, Tray House's wild Putnamville flip, action from Terre Haute, Twin Cities, Kokomo, Brownstown, Indy Speedrome, Bloomington and one very animated race fan.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks! Love watching old races. Amazing to watch now and see how much faster cars are now. Not taking anything away from the old cars!

Nice video! Those are the higher banks that I remembered as a kid at Paragon. What about that drunk guy, lol!

Was that really Kenny Rogers?

As a kid that grew up ten minutes from the speedrome I say THANK YOU!!!

Nah, but it sure looked like him, didn't it! Bob:5:

Pretty cool... I like the soundtrack too, starts out early 60s "surf rock", some old school sax driven R&B in the middle, might call that last song rockabilly?
Do you remember who played which songs for musical credits?
Yea, the shirtless guy was pretty funny, getting all worked up even for Late Models...

How do you know he was drunk? maybe just weird....:18:

Ditto! :6:

That guy must have moved to Central PA. There was a guy up at Susquehanna a couple weeks ago doing the same thing all night long for every race. I never saw him with a beer though.

Is that Tony getting out of his car to flip off the other drive? Pretty ironic considering what happened last time a guy got out to confront Tony. Stay in your damn car!
LIked the Late Model going into the pond also....

Tony and Dan Drinan got together in turn one at IRP. They had a "history" of run-ins in USAC races as they both were fierce competitors. It was a nice little rivalry for a few years.

I've been trying to remember who drove the 3J street stock (the car in the pond) but can't come up with the name. He drove for years. Anyone?

joe lucas is the driver in the pond

Great film and proof once again you can't go wrong with the surf-rock background music!

Re: 1995 Indiana short track highlight film
 

Sorry for the delay and I think following years videos have music credits because I love surf music too.

1. The Ventures-Pedal Pusher
2. The Hustlers-Inertia
3. Lorenzo Smith-Count Down
4. Pyramids-Road Runnah
5. Cornells-Shanghied
6. Revels-Church Key

Thanks Vertigo. I've been following music way longer than sprint cars & have to admit, only group I've heard of is The Ventures..... Youtube here I come!
Lots of great "unknown" bands here in the good ole USA, & I've seen some damn good ones at races too. I wish some more people would dance tho.... one of these days I have to drag one of my dancing girls to a race.... multi-hour drive is the big hurdle!
