This is a 1995, Indianapolis 500 pinball machine by Williams.  This is one exciting and fast paced pinball machine to play.  It is also very player friendly.  The sound effects are exceptional.  The machine also features 3 characters that talk as you play.  They are TV commentators Bobby, Paul, and the Announcer, who is 50 year Indianapolis Motor Speedway legend Tom Carnegie.  They tell you where you need to shoot and keep you up to date on what's going on.  It is all done in a back and forth, TV commentator sort of way.  For example, you might hear, "Driver 1 has a ball in the Turbo, Bobby."  "That's right Paul, another one means a guaranteed multiball."

Another neat feature is the race car in the upper right had corner.  When you hit the right ramp, that car takes off, going around and round on the little track, causing the machine to shake.  This is one exciting and fun machine.  We only wish more of them were made.  This particular unit is about as clean as you'll ever find one.  I took many pictures of the playfield because it is so nice.  The cabinet too is just about perfect and the art is not faded a bit.  You'd have to find one in a box to look any better.  It has been totally shopped out and is working 100%.  Finally, the Display is brand new, installed Jan of 2003.
