Although true race conditions were impossible (the camera is just too bulky), Low sneakily edits his film to stretch the imagination. On race day, several Indy cars drove alongside the camera car hours before the main event, passing and drafting each other with crowds whizzing past them. When edited with footage of the race, it feels like the real thing. Low takes a few off-beat choices in setting up his story. The first image is the biggest chicken you've ever seen. The last shot is a '50s car (lovingly restored during the film) racing through perfect golden foliage on an autumn day. It gives his movie of modern technology a wonderful sense of nostalgia. --Doug Thomas

Customer Reviews of Super Speedway
Give me VHS The documentary itself is fantastic. Just don't buy this particular disk set. <

>One disk is the regular Super Speedway from IMAX, but in NTSC. I took NTSC since the PAL version is out of production. When I played it on my DVD player, I was shocked to see how fuzzy 480 NTSC lines are compared to PAL's 576. <
> <
>No matter, I thought, I bought the disk set for the HD version anyway. So I popped the disk in my PC thinking I can stream the WMV files through my media streamer at my home theater. Another shock as I realize that the WMV files are encrypted not with standard DRM, but with some proprietary technology. <

>Why even bother releasing this? The NTSC version is worse than a good VHS and if you want to see the HD version the whole family must crowd behind my tiny 22" Monitor and tinny PC speakers for 50 minutes. <

>One very disappointed racing fan.
Great behind the scenes documentary
This was a great documentary about what goes on behind the scenes in racing. The WVMHD looks great on my hi resolution computer monitor. Sound, action, and narration are all superb. Would recommend to anyone interested in knowing a little more about racing. Note: this film doesn't dig to deep into the technical side of car design or the underlying technologies, it merely scratches the surface.
Monster sound effects
Want to put your home theater to the ultimate test? This is one magnificently produced DVD. None can match it's raw viceral sounds of the Indy cars on the track. Crank it up and the sounds will go around the room as the car races thru the road course. The Andretti men are classic and weave a good story of a car found in a barn then restore it and run it again. Simply amazing photography and sound effects.
