TIDBITS® HEADS TO THE by Kathy Wolfe The 100th Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for May 29, 2016. What do you know about the history of this race and its venue? Tidbits will get you “in the know”! • The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the vision of Indianapolis business Carl Fisher, who first came up with the idea in 1905. Along with three partners, he purchased Pressley Farm, a 328-acre level piece of ground about 5 miles outside of the city, for $72,000. Construction on the 2.5-mile oval track began in March, 1909. Five hundred workers, 300 mules, and a fleet of steam-powered machinery labored to reshape the land. The track was graded, and covered with packed soil, 2 inches of gravel, 2 inches of limestone, and coated with tar and oil. Another 2 inches of crushed stone chips were added, more tar and oil, and a final covering of crushed stone. Grandstands with 12,000 seats were built to accommodate racing fans. • When the Speedway was built, the average price of a new car was $1,280, and a gallon of gas could be purchased for 6 cents. • On June 5, 1909, the first event was held at the Speedway, although the oval hadn’t yet been completed. Nine heliumfilled balloons took to the skies before 40,000 people competing for trophies. Two months later a series of motorcycle races were held. Race to next page for more!

(cont'd):
• The first car race was held on August 19 of that year. The track’s surface was already becoming damaged with ruts and chuckholes. Nearly 20,000 spectators paid up to a dollar for a ticket. The first race, a 250-mile event, included leader Louis Chevrolet, for whom an automobile would later be named. The track’s first fatality occurred in that race, when a car flipped end over end before crashing into a fence post. Both the driver and his mechanic died on site. The third race of 300 miles resulted in three more deaths, and all races and future events at the Speedway were terminated until improvements were made to the track. • Paving of the track with bricks began almost immediately, with 3.2 million 10-lb. bricks supplied by local manufacturers. The last brick, made of gold, was set in place by the governor in a special ceremony. From then on, the track became known as the Brickyard. • On Memorial Day, 1911, more than 80,000 spectators gathered to watch 40 cars compete in the first 500-mile “International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race.” Driving a Marmon Wasp, which was manufactured right there in Indianapolis, Ray Harroun won the race with an average speed of 74.602 mph. All the other drivers had their mechanic as a passenger, but Harroun picked up speed by driving alone. Without a passenger to keep track of what was behind him, Harroun installed a rear-view mirror in his Wasp, the first time such an apparatus was used in a car. Harroun’s car can be viewed at the Indy 500 Hall of Fame Museum, which opened in 1956 on the grounds of the Speedway. Continue racing to next page!

• The name of the race remained the same until after World War I, when, in 1919, the name was changed to “Liberty Sweep Stakes,” a change that stayed in place just that one year. In 1920, it was once again the “International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race." • The 1925 race was the first time a driver averaged 100 mph for the race. Pete DePaolo accomplished the feat with an average of 101.13 mph. • In 1927, the speedway was sold to World War I fighter ace pilot Captain Eddie Rickenbacker for $750,000. Rickenbacker was also a former race car driver who had competed at Indy five times between 1911 and 1916. • An amazing feat was accomplished in 1931 when racer Dave Evans completed the entire 500 miles without a single pit stop. His Cummins Diesel Special was the first diesel entry in the history of the race, finishing in 13th place. Since that time, only three others have achieved this deed – one racer in 1941 and two in 1949. • 1936 was a big year at the Speedway, when the legendary brick was replaced with asphalt. A 3-ft. wide section of the original bricks was left at the Start/ Finish line, still in place today. • In December, 1941, with the United States’ entry into World War II, it was agreed that 1942’s Indy 500 would be cancelled. Late in 1942, a ban was placed on all auto racing for the remainder of the war, in place through 1945. The track fell into disrepair, and plans were made to subdivide the acreage into a housing development. Eddie Rickenbacker turned down all offers from real estate developers and instead sold it to Terre Haute, Indiana businessman Anton Hulman for the same price he had paid for it in 1927. Hulman restored the track in time for the 1946 race. Amazingly, the same family still owns and operates the Speedway. Continue racing to next page! How bad are gas prices? Apparently even Dale Earnhardt Jr was tempted into not quite filling the tank today.

• On a hot Memorial Day in 1936, threetime Indy 500 winner Louis Meyer drank a glass of buttermilk in Victory Lane after his win. The local Milk Foundation saw the picture in the newspaper and used it as a publicity strategy to encourage milk drinking. The practice became a tradition and every winner is now presented a glass quart bottle of milk after the race. It’s no surprise that the American Dairy Association is a regular sponsor of the Indy 500.

• The traditional phrase, “Gentlemen, start your engines” prior to the race has been around since the early 1950s. Wilbur Shaw, a three-time Indy winner became the president of the Speedway in 1945, and is believed to have coined the phrase. When women are part of the line-up, the phrase has been adjusted to, “Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines.” If there’s been a rain delay, occasionally “Restart your engines” has been proclaimed. • A.J. Foyt began his history-making run at the Indy 500 in 1961, when, at age 26, he won his first race there. His next Indy 500 win was in 1964, when he became the last to drive a front-engine car. (Every winner since 1965 has driven a rearengine car.) Foyt’s Indy victories in 1967 and 1977 made him the first driver to secure four wins. Only two other drivers have accomplished this feat – Al Unser in 1970, 1971, 1978, and 1987 and Rick Mears in 1979, 1984, 1988, and 1991.

-- Here’s yet another reason to try to stay fit: Seniors with more muscle mass have a lower risk of death. That’s according to researchers who spent eight years surveying 6,400 patients with cardiovascular disease. They divided the patients into four groups: high muscle/high fat, high muscle/low fat, low muscle/high fat and low muscle/low fat. The winners (those with improved survival odds) were those with the high muscle/low fat combination. The level of fat doesn’t matter as much as the muscle mass to reduce risk of death.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● In almost every state, there is a statute on the books making it illegal to jump off the top of an office building. Unsurprisingly, there’s not much call to prosecute those who violate the law; district attorneys aren’t in the habit of filing charges against corpses. However, in a few states, if you survive jumping off a building and are tried and convicted of violating that law, you could be sentenced to death. ● You probably won’t be surprised to learn that a group of hedgehogs is known as a prickle. ● Did you know that dogs appear in the Bible? Yep -- 41 times. No mention of cats, though. ● Those who study such things say that among social media users, those who use Twitter are less likely to smoke than users of other platforms. * You doubtless know of Theodore Geisel -- better known as Dr. Seuss, the beloved author of such children’s classics as “The Cat in the Hat,” “Horton Hears a Who” and “Green Eggs and Ham,” among many others. You might not realize, though, that his first book, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” was rejected by more than two dozen publishers before it finally made it into print.
