I forget what year it was exactly. I was in the pits when Guthrie finished her qualifying run. When she climbed out of the car, she was shaking like a leaf in a thunder storm.
Presented the Mallard in 1972 to qualify on the last day of qualifying. Came up to the line just before 6pm when qualifications ended. Took the front hood piece off the car and it was filled with several cases of iced down Miller Beer. I was there and saw it. But too young to have one of those Miller's.
This is the best classic Indy 500 Time Trials video that I have seen so far!
we need more of these local telecasts...if more video like this exists we want to see it
The music used by WRTV as they went to commercial breaks is "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk.

So glad you posted this!
Herk's Mallard (the last front-engine car to enter the race) at 50:36.

I think that's the same Craig Roberts that later went to KPRC in Houston.
Craig had my old mustache before I had it. Bobby Rahal style 😉
18:03 and 19:10 are what you’re here for.
