Thank you IndyCar! Please keep posting full races from the past!

That turn one by Michael... holy hell.

RIP Big Al, his pass on Michael Andretti still gives me chills. The finish, 👌 This is what the Indy 500 is all about!

1992. My favourite Indianapolis 500 of all time apart from many others.

I wore the VHS tape out on this one. Great to see it without the tracking glitches.

ABC screwed up the shot of the closest indy 500 finish coming to the checkered flag. Along with the cold temp and half the field leaving on a stretcher, thats what I remember most.

Yep. I assume the director pre-chose a set of cameras for the finish moments and didn't have the sense to jump in and say "forget that, stay with the cars."

@@BobGeogeo They seem to have learned their lesson; nowadays they have the infield homestretch camera track the cars all the way to the line, at which point the camera stops tracking them, adjusts the zoom a bit, and then focuses on the flag stand. Which is honestly a very good way of doing it, since it shows the race all the way to the line, and keeps the flair of showing the checkered flag being waved.

I remember this race so well. This was my second 500. I remember Michael dominating the entire race and his car dying on the backstretch with 11 laps to go. I wore shorts to this race and that was the coldest day ever. I think I wrapped the Indianapolis Star around my legs to block the cold wind. It was much harder to follow the race in these days unless you listened to a scanner or the radio broadcast with headphones. I remember tracking Michaels car closely and even counting the seconds for his lap times and I knew something was wrong because it was taking him too long to pass in front of us on lap 188/189. I always hoped Michael would win this race. Hopefully the pandemic is over for next year and those stands are full!!

My Gramps attended the Indy 500 for 40+ years he said that '92 race was the coldest one ever for him

Aside from the memorable finish, this race and the whole month was a “bloodbath”. It was hard crash after hard crash with numerous injuries and sadly claimed one life (Jovy Marcelo). There were changes to this track next year such as reconfiguring the walls and replacing the low lines with the warm up lane.

Mario crashes and still he's able to put it in reverse and get out of the way. Used to have this one on VHS . Thank you.

Tale of 2 families this Indy run was, great day for the Unser's, horrible day for the Andretti's... Unser Sr's 3rd place finish was the best performance at Indy for the Buick V6 engine & proved that the motor could indeed last 500 miles...

Right off the master quality! The deiniterlacing is fantastic.

At this point the shivers run up and down my spine, what more can I say. RockinRonny

The day before this race it was hot and humid with high temperatures in the high '80's, low '90's. Then a cold front rolls in overnight, and the low temperature was under 40. There was almost a frost that day. Looking back on it, I think the race should have been delayed an hour to warm up the track. Most of the crashes we saw would not have happened that day if they have waited to start it. Air temperature gradually went up to low '60's later in the afternoon. I sat in turn 4 that day. Wished I was in 1 to see the double pass of cheaver by the andretti's on the start.

You're probably not wrong that the start should have been delayed, for the safety of the cars and their drivers. Lap 137 was where the last crash happened. The last two cautions were Buddy Lazier's blown engine and Michael Andretti's fuel pump failure. Apparently the track warmed up just enough for the last 50-60 laps that the drivers were able to cope. By the numbers, it was a massive bloodbath of a race. 13 cars crashed, 6 engine failures, 2 other mechanical failures (gearbox for Ted Prappas, fuel pump for Michael Andretti). Only 12 cars were running at the finish, and only 4 on the lead lap.

Most destructive Indy race ever. The amount of broken bones was incredible.

AFAIK, Al Unser Sr was indeed the only driver to pass Michael (whether to unlap himself for for position) all day.

greatest race ever! i heard lynn st james finished in last place which was 11th or 12th place because thats how many cars finished

According to Wikipedia this was Mario's "worst day of his life".

My first Indy. Sitting in turn 2. Best seats in the house. Remember the shock when Roberto crashed.

Awesome! Odd seeing the finish without Bob Jenkins IMS Radio call!

The coldest Indy 500 in history to date

Thank you, indycar!

thanks

“You don’t know what Indy Means!”

God I miss that apron

Man, it's a wonder that only one life was lost in May of 92. So many awful hits. Also, if that tire from Jeff Andretti's car bounced two feet further, it could've been horrific for Gary Bettenhausen. RIP Jovy Marcelo

Ah yes 1992: -> The year where the temperature was so cold that two cars spun during Formation Lap. One of them is the pole sitter. -> The year that look like the Andrettis showed their most dominant display only to binned it by the end. -> Rick Mears career ending crash. -> Still to this day, the closest ever finish in Indy500 history. Scott Goodyear highest finish in his CART career, he had another chance in 1995 but got Black Flagged for ignoring penalty

That race had its fair amount of crashes on the day and quite a number of injured drivers, namely Mario and Jeff Andretti, Brian Bonner, Emerson Fittipaldi and others I can’t think of right now, also that was dashed unlucky for Micheal Andretti to retire from the race with only a handful of laps to go, when will the run of bad luck at Indy ever end for the Andretti family.

When Indy cars were great

Thank goodness fire trucks cannot drive along the pit lane anymore, when you think about what happened in 1973, that was a positive change in the right direction.

i was there in 1973 and it happened right in front of me how stupid for the fire truck going the wrong way up pit lane!

The coldest Indianapolis 500 race produced a wreckfest. This race as of today is the closest Indy 500 finish with LittleAl vs Goodyear. Along with LittleAl's famous Indy 500 quote! Ford returns to Indycar with the killer Cosworth engine giving Michael Andretti a massive advantage against the non-Ford powered engines until with eleven laps to go. It didn't win the 1992 Indianapolis 500 and Michigan 500 or even the 1993 Indy 500. However, Ford absolutely crushed the Chevrolets at the 1993 Michigan 500 taking all of the Top 5 spots.

pre-start crash and spin of Roberto and Gash. Left hand turns only means the right side tires heat up quicker than the left. Both drivers tried to punch it and hooked left. Sad and just an indication that this would be a very hard race.

How bad was Jeff Andretti's crash? The impact was so hard that Jeff's left knee was driven upwards with sufficient force to dislocate Jeff's jaw. And this with Jeff wearing a helmet.

25th anniversary of Little Al's win!

Did anyone ever figure out what exactly was the cause of so many cars crashing out with extreme snap oversteer in turns 3 and 4 this year? There was never anything like it before, or since. Had to be a some combo weather issue: tires never warming properly for their compound, and loss of rear downforce due to the relative thinness of the air, as when a late spring cold front as powerful as this comes through dry, thin-less moisture-air sweeps down from Canada and pushes out out the thicker heavier air, a scenario which maybe was so unexpected it was never accounted for in the aero calculations. Something went badly wrong, to use one of my favorite Bobby Unser-isms 'for certain sure.' It's incredible to watch literally the same wreck caused by the same thing happen over and over and over again in an Indy 500. Very lucky nobody was killed (if Stan Fox hits Gasche a couple feet to the right differently, we likely would have. Stan's luck unfortunately went badly the other direction 4 years later...)

I was in turn 4!

This was a USAC officiated race instead of CART. Even Tony George realized how terrible they were and replaced them a couple into the IRL.

But the constant crashes (thanks to cold weather) and engines blowing up and drivers getting hurt ruined this race for me. It's a miracle the photo finish is the best part about this crapshoot of a race.
