The Harry A. Miller Club
Vintage Indy Car Exhibition,
2012
Celebrating the 100th Anniversary
of the Vanderbilt Cup Race
The Harry A. Miller Club Vintage Indy Car Exhibition
was held July 6-7 at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in West Allis, Wisc.
Most cars spent time on the track under beautiful blue skies and comfortable
weather. The Club continues its great job of preserving a wonderfully cordial
and open atmosphere for all attendees. Now with pit row of having shade tents
for cars and participants, the event is even more pleasant. At what other
event can you see and listen to the best historical race cars from around
the world and chat with the owners, drivers, and restorers at leisure?

Videos
These videos were recorded on a Sony NEX-5n in AVCHD-MTS format. The source files are Blu-ray hi-def quality: 1920x1080, 60fps, with digital stereo audio. In order to accomodate Internet speeds, the source files were compressed into 720x404 hi-def Windows Media Video files. To really hear how the cars sound, connect a pair of full-range high quality speakers or headphones rather than using tiny computer speakers.
The recording location was directly across from the grandstands, facing the track, with the pits behind. The cars accelerate out of the turn off to the right, come down the grandstand straight from right to left, and then decelerate for the next turn. You can occasionally hear voices and other cars in the pit row that was right behind the recording location. Track speeds are up to 60 mph.
These are very large files, so they take a while to download (buffer), but then play smoothly.
