"Heads In The Game" - An INDY Long Beach Video Retrospective
sourced by Edmund Jenks
Heads In The Game - An INDY Long Beach 2009 Retrospective ... A Video and Photo compilation of the event from the pits. Photos taken during the three days of practice, qualification, and competition at the 35th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach and the first ever IndyCar Series event in Long Beach under full unification of open wheel racing competition in North America.
The video uses close-up images of the drivers as they sit in their Dallara race cars while engineers tweek the chassis in order to gain faster lap times. Red Wall tires Vs Black Wall tires, umbrellas, cockpit fans to keep drivers comfortable, pit in, pit out, add fuel, and discuss the set up with team owners are postures expressed by the players who drive here and have their heads in the game.
Video music overlay performed by the Kings of Leon.
Players in order of appearance are (some are repeated with photos taken in time sequence) Graham Rahal, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Dario Franchitti, Justin Wilson, Ed Carpenter, Danica Patrick, Marco Andretti, EJ Viso, Mike Conway, Stanton Barrett, Robert Doornbos, Ryan Briscoe, Helio Castroneves, Vitor Meira, Jimmy Vasser, Paul Tracy, and Will Power.

A Press Pass with Pit access, a digital camera, Windows MovieMaker, LimeWire, and a passion for open-cockpit open-wheel racing and 3 min and 25 sec later, one gets the feel of the 2009 Long Beach Grand Prix!
Technology is great.
