I use a Uniden BC125AT, others have mentioned it. I used it at the race track (Portland) with the stock antenna & the Koss QZ99 others have also mentioned.

I program the known scanner frequencies before I head to the racetrack from the spotter guide, using the free software scan125. (PC only unfortunately, I used parallels on my mac to get it to run.)
From what I can tell, the driver coms, race control & indycar radio network don't change much during a season.
The same is not true for tv, at least in my first two years of scanning the races. I use the racing scan mode to figure out the tv broadcast frequencies, there will be one "clear one" and the the others you find will be interrupted with comments such as camera direction, etc. With NBCGold this year, I was able to easily lock down the good frequency the first practice session to listen to the tv broadcast.
Indylights used the same frequencies as the main event, (TV/radio/race control) They had other frequencies for the drivers, but I didn't investigate if a list was available online somewhere. Other series I couldn't find any coms, but they may have not had radios.
I have some other thoughts. If you share the scanner with two people, you may find the volume is too low. I purchased an amplified splitter, but didn't need at the racetrack.

I would go with the 125 vs the cheaper model, due to being able to set an alphanumeric id instead of only looking at a frequency number on the scanner channel.
Like i mentioned before, I preprogrammed what I could before I arrived at the track on Friday, I then programmed the tv stations at the track, but it is a pain to label everything and get a logical order into the scanner banks that way. When I got home the first day I was able to use the scan125 software to "clean up" the order and get everything labeled properly, to make it easy to switch from tv/radio/pa & race control as I cared to.
I put a fresh set of AA batteries in the start of the weekend, and replaced the batteries again before the main race. I would carry at least 4 AA batteries to the track each day, just in case.
Hey Willum. My family has a few of these guys for Indy (sorry, I could only find them through the UK Amazon). They work great, and they change the way you watch a race. I went to the 500 for several years before we got one, and it changes the way you watch the race in the stands. You can listen to the radio broadcast, flip between your favorite drivers, etc. You gain valuable insight that you would never get any other way. A tip from someone who's done this though, drivers don't talk when they're going 220+! My fiancee always asks why she can't hear anything, and it's hard for me not to roll my eyes.
Where are your seats at?
While Indycar is more tangently related in this book, although it does talk about Indy 500 efforts, Mark Donohue's The Unfair Advantage is about his racing career and the early days of Team Penske. You could argue it focuses more on American motorsport in general (They ran in the Daytona 24H, Can-Am, NASCAR, and other series as well as the Indy 500), but it's still a good look at the early days of the biggest team in the sport.
It also helps explain the entire philosophy of auto racing, in describing the search for an advantage that isn't necessarily cheating, but will be difficult/impossible for other teams to replicate in the garage area once you turn up to the track with it.

Mostly the history, but it’s the best one I’ve read regarding IMS!
Yes.

tl;dr: Drivers put up with high sustained heart rates due to massive sustained mental and physical stress. Dr Olvey's book has some clear metrics (o2 intake, HR, G forces) comparing them to other sports. I can pick them out of the book when I get home.
You can get growler/crowler/bullet fills as well as cans at most breweries, but better to stock up on Saturday. You can not bring glass containers into IMS. I am taking two of these with sippy lids (remove the straw) along with a few frozen bottles of water in my backpack cooler.
Pretty sure that Coyne slot (nyuck-nyuck) will be filled for the 500.

I can't make it to the race so I bought the next best thing. https://www.amazon.com/Curve-Liz-Claiborne-Cologne-Spray/dp/B000P22TW0?th=1
This is the one I use. I love it. So much so that a bought a second one a couple years ago for my brother to use when he went to the 500 with me.

There is one already. It actually covers the first one as well. I wish more people would read it.
Only $10 for the e-book.
I had the telecast with these.

Blood and Smoke makes a pretty good argument that Harroun didn't actually win at all.
Yes it’s based on Dr. Olvey’s. In fact we’ve worked close with the publisher on issuing a new hardcover edition with a new chapter and a new afterword by Dario Franchitti. It will be released this month in the USA.

Pro tip 3: Get yourself a skinny cooler. Fit under the slim spot in the bleachers and you still have ample foot room. http://smile.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Can-Briefcase-Cooler-Red/dp/B0000644AE?sa-no-redirect=1
I found it on Tumblr. However it is also in https://www.amazon.com/Indianapolis-Motor-Speedway-Years-Racing/dp/0896898350 which I have. It says the overview is from 1930 but that can’t be possible since the golf course was built in 1929.
Rapid Response? https://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Response-Inside-Racing-Life-Saver/dp/0857331124/ They're making a movie about it.
