Visit with
Rare Sportsfilms
in Indianapolis
at two
Indy 500 Auto Racing
Memorabilia Shows
Rare Sportsfilms has been exhibiting its video productions at Indianapolis the week of the "500" for more than a quarter of a century!
This year we will have a booth set up at BOTH the OWC and the IMME racing memorabilia shows and we hope you'll come on out to visit with us.
You'll find Rare Sportsfilms at:
The Open Wheel Collectibles & Sports Memorabilia Expo (OWC) on Thursday and Friday, May 23th and 24th at the DuPont Pavilion at the Indiana State Fair Grounds on 38th Street north of the Speedway. For more details about OWC click this link.
The Indy Motorsports Memorabilia Experience (IMME) on Saturday, May 25th in the Pavilion Courtyard near the Pagoda in the infield of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Rare Sportsfilms will be at table #18 in the far corner of the room,
8 AM - 5 PM
Rare Sportsfilms President Doak Ewing says, "Any racing fan who appreciates the history of the Indianapolis 500 and is lucky enough to be in Indianapolis during race week should not miss the fun of visiting the greatest assemblage of racing memorabilia and artifacts in the country - all right near the track or at the track during the three days prior to the 500 this year. The Open Wheel Collectible & Sports Memorabilia (OWC) Expo, and the Indy Motorsports Memorabilia Experience (IMME) inside the track itself, are not to be missed by fans eager to purchase Indy racing items from the past. Baseball fans might call it 'The National Convention of Auto Racing Memorabilia'. At these shows you'll find old photos, yearbooks, racing magazines, trading cards, model race cars, driver autographs, old pit badges, 500 ticket stubs, programs, DVDs on past 500s, books on the 500, old driver uniforms, helmets and even vintage paving bricks from the original track which has come to be known as 'The Brickyard'! For those in town Thursday, Friday and Saturday, I highly recommend attending the OWC Expo in the DuPont Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on 38th street northeast of the Speedway. Click this link to get more info on this show. If you are in town on Thursday, I recommend attending the first day, as it is less crowded (mostly local collectors), and you can get first crack at the one-of-a-kind items available before the big crowds come pouring in from around the country on Friday and Saturday. For the 26th consecutive year, Rare Sportsfilms will have our table set up and will be open on Thursday and Friday at the OWC Expo. For those fans who are not able to get to Indy before Saturday, all is not lost. The day before the race, we will be exhibiting at the annual Indy Motorsports Memorabilia Experience (IMME) show, located inside the Speedway itself in the Plaza Pavilion Courtyard near the Pagoda. Show hours are 8 AM - 5 PM. I am looking forward to displaying our DVDs and seeing old friends and new collectors alike at table #18 in the back corner of the room all day Saturday. At these shows are the most knowledgeable dealers and collectors of Indy 500 memorabilia in the country."
See you in MAY -
at Indy!!

Two different vintage films have been beautifully restored, each showing the race from an entirely different perspective! Tom Carnegie emphasizes the variety of different cars appearing in '63, Jim Clark's rookie year! Mickey Thompson cars and all three Granatelli Novi's qualify with Parnelli also winning his second straight pole! Included is an Eddie Sachs Bryant Heating & Cooling commercial plus an interview with Sachs and mechanic Wally Meskowski!

and
"Wings To Victory"
Both on one DVD! This new DVD touches on the 1966-1972 racing relationship of Mark Donohue and Roger Penske with Sun Oil Company as a formidable racing team and Donohue's first four Indy 500's, 1969-1972. Covered in more detail is the month of May at the Speedway in '72, including practice, qualifications and the race itself on Memorial Day, won by Donohue.
