The Harry A. Miller Club Vintage Indy Car Exhibition was held July 9-10 at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in West Allis, Wisc. This year, the event memorialized David V. Uihlein, Sr. a founder of the Harry Miller Club who passed away in January 2010.

A record 53 cars were on display and most 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.  At what other event can you stand in pit row and watch and listen to the best historical race cars from around the world and then go and chat with the owners, drivers, and restorers at leisure?

Videos

These videos were recorded on a Casio EXP-505 in MPEG-4 AVI format. The source file is DVD quality: 640x480, 30fps, with digital stereo audio. In order to accomodate various Internet speeds, the source files were compressed into Windows Media Video files, using Microsoft Movie Maker. The finished videos are available in two sizes: Small - 320x240, variable bit rate; Large - 640x480, variable bit rate.

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. Recordings made on track were at speeds in the 60 mph range.

To really hear how the cars sound, connect a pair of full-range high quality speakers or headphones rather than using tiny computer speakers.
