TIDBITS® HEADS TO THEINDY 500by 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”! • � e Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the

vision of Indianapolis business Carl Fisher, who � rst 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 (8 km) outside of the city, for $72,000. Construction on the 2.5-mile (4.0 km) oval track began in March, 1909. Five hundred workers, 300 mules, and a � eet of steam-powered machinery labored to reshape the land. � e track was graded, and covered with packed soil, 2 inches (5 cm) of gravel, 2 inches (5 cm) of limestone, and coated with tar and oil. Another 2 inches of crushed stone chips were added, more tar and oil, and a � nal 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 � rst event was held at the Speedway, although the oval hadn’t yet been completed. Nine helium-� lled balloons took to the skies before 40,000 people competing

for trophies. Two months later a series of motorcycle races were held.

• � e � rst car race was held on August 19 of that year. � e track’s surface was already becoming damaged with ruts and chuckholes. Nearly 20,000 spectators paid up to a dollar for a ticket. � e � rst race, a 250-mile (400-km) event, included leader Louis Chevrolet, for whom an automobile would later be named. � e track’s � rst fatality occurred in that race, when a car � ipped end over end before crashing into a fence post. Both the driver and his mechanic died on site. � e third race of 300 miles (480 km) 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. (4.5-kg) bricks supplied by local manufacturers. � e last brick, made of gold, was set in place was 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 � rst 500-mile (800-km) “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 (120.06 km/hr). 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 � rst 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.

• � e 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.

• � e 1925 race was the � rst time a driver averaged 100 mph (160 km/hr) for the race. Pete DePaolo accomplished the feat with an average of 101.13 mph (162.75 km/h).

• In 1927, the speedway was sold to World War I � ghter ace pilot Captain Eddie Rickenbacker for $750,000. Rickenbacker was also a former race car driver who had competed at Indy � ve 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 � rst diesel entry in the history of the race, � nishing 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. (0.91-m) 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. � e track fell into disrepair, and plans were made to subdivide the acreage into a housing development. Eddie Rickenbacker turned down all o� ers 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.

Q: I was pleasantly surprised to � nd that I love Andrew Dice Clay’s new comedy on Showtime called “Dice.” I especially thought that the actor who played Natasha’s brother’s husband was wonderful. Can you tell me what else I can see him in? -- Tina H.,

Mount Dora, FloridaA: Actor and stand-up comedian Eugene Kim played David on “Dice,” a thrilling experience for him because he got to meet and work with Andrew. Eugene told me: “I love Andrew Dice Clay. He’s one of those iconic comedians that you look up to and hope to meet. I had seen him at the Comedy Store, and he just brings this power when he walks in. He just has that star quality and charisma.“As an actor, he’s extremely nurturing. � at is something I appreciate as an artist because you want to feel safe in your environment. And somebody who is a legend like Andrew, he could have easily been a jerk, but he was a really great person to work with.”Eugene’s next project is the feature � lm “Car Dogs,”

which also stars Octavia Spencer, Josh Hopkins, George Lopez and Nia Vardalos. Eugene revealed: “It’s an indie � lm, and the plot happens over the course of one day. � e main character, Mark Chamberlain -- who is played by Patrick Adams, who is in ‘Suits’ -- has a quota of 35 cars to sell by the end of the day. And he needs us, his car salesmen, to help him meet that quota. � e question is will he do whatever it takes to make that happen, as far as ethics go.”

Q: Last summer I was really into David Duchovny’s new series, “Aquarius.” Please tell me it will be back again this summer. -- Tia J., via emailA: David will return to the role of LAPD detective Sam Hoidak, who is hot on the trail of a missing girl who has taken up with Charles Manson and his “family.” As you know, the series is set in the late 1960s, with the action taking place before the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders. � e 13-episode second season returns to NBC on � ursday, June 16. Veteran actor Tim Gri� n joins the series as Agent Ron Kellaher, a foil for Hoidak and hell-bent on getting him kicked o� the force.

Readers: It’s time for another episode of “Canceled or Renewed.” � is time I will focus on CBS shows that have gotten the ax, whether they’ve run their course or were canceled due to low ratings. Shows we won’t be seeing this upcoming season include: “Angel From Hell,” “CSI: Cyber,” “Extant,” “� e Good Wife,” “Mike and Molly,” “Person of Interest” and “Rush Hour.” Also, you won’t be seeing “Supergirl” on CBS after this season, but it hasn’t been canceled; it’s switching over to � e CW, where it will be right at home with all the other superhero series.Write to Cindy at King Features Weekly Service, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803; or e-mail her at [email protected].(c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Indy 500 in 1961, when, at age 26, he won his � rst 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 rear-engine car.) Foyt’s Indy victories in 1967 and 1977 made him the � rst 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.

• A.J. Foyt holds the record for the most consecutive Indy 500 races, having driven for 35 in a row. � is adds up to nearly 12,275 miles (19,755 km), with earnings of $2,637,963. Year 34 was a challenge after Foyt su� ered severe leg injuries in a serious crash nine months earlier, but that didn’t stop him from competing.

Hulman restored the track in time for the 1946 race. Amazingly, the same family still owns and operates the Speedway.

• On a hot Memorial Day in 1936, three-time Indy 500 winner Louis Meyer drank a glass of buttermilk in Victory Lane after his win. � e local Milk Foundation saw the picture in the newspaper and used it as a publicity strategy to encourage milk drinking. � e 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.

• � e 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.

CRABS� is week, Tidbits goes under the sea to dig up some facts on crabs.

• � e approximately 5,000 species of crabs are divided into “true crabs” and “false crabs.” About 4,500 are true crabs, or brachyurans, and include blue crabs, spider crabs, and ghost crabs. False crabs are “crab-like” animals, which have a longer abdominal section and fewer walking legs, including hermit crabs and king crabs.

• Crabs are decapods, which are crustaceans with 10 limbs. � eir two front legs end in claws, called chelae. � e other four pairs are the creature’s walking legs. If a crab loses a claw or leg in a � ght, it will grow back.

• Although crabs can live on land, they spend most of their time in fresh water, and live in more di� erent places than any other sea animal, even under the ice in Antarctica and in volcanic vents.

• � e crab’s hard shell, called a carapace, is actually a skeleton on the outside of its body. Because the rigid shell cannot grow or stretch, the creature must shed its skeleton and grow a new one. When it molts, a crack forms in the shell, and the crab backs out of it. During their � rst year of life, this occurs six or seven times, then once or twice a year after that. A crab might go through up to 50 molts during its lifetime.

• A crab’s eyes are located on short independently-moving stalks and are compound eyes made up of hundreds of tiny lenses that can detect UV light more than half a mile below the ocean’s surface.

• As omnivores, crabs dine predominantly on algae, although some species eat worms and mollusks. � ey have no teeth in their mouths, but rather, the teeth are in the stomach. Large mashing jaws on either side of the mouth do mash food somewhat, but within in the stomach, the teeth grind against each other every time the stomach contracts. � e mouth opens on the underside of the animal, but because of the hard exoskeleton, it doesn’t open very wide.

• A group of crabs is called a cast, and its members communicate with each other by � apping their pincers or drumming their claws.

• � e world’s largest crab is the Japanese Spider Crab, found in the waters o� the southern coast of Japan. � is giant’s leg span can reach 12 feet (3.8 m) from claw to claw and can weigh up to 42 lbs. (19 kg).

• A crab that doesn’t � nd its way into a � sherman’s trap will live between 8 and 13 years (although � ddler crabs live just two years.) Of all the creatures caught from the world’s bodies of water, 20% of them are crabs. � e average crab weighs about 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) and is 6 inches (15.2 cm) long. About one-fourth of its weight is meat. About 1.5 million tons of crab are consumed by humans around the world each year. � e Japanese Blue Crab is the most consumed. � e popular king crab is not even a true crab. Native to the cold waters of the Bering Sea and northern Paci� c Ocean, it’s easily the most expensive per unit of weight.

MORE INDY 500 FACTS• � e Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the � rst

track built in the U.S. speci� cally for auto racing. � e original 328 acres has been expanded to 559 acres, and a seating capacity of 235,000 that can expand to 400,000 by � lling the in� eld. � is makes it the world’s highest-capacity sports venue.

• Whereas some race cars had wheels covered by fenders, cars that had wheels sticking out from the main body of the car became known as “Indy Cars.”

• � e youngest Indy 500 winner was just 22 years

old, California native Troy Ruttman, who, in 1952, drove his Agajanian Special at a record-breaking average speed of 128.922 mph (207.5 km/hr). Al Unser was just � ve days shy of his 48th birthday when he became the race’s oldest winner in 1987, his fourth victory.

• � ere has been a pace car at the Indy 500 every year since its 1911 inception. � e pace car leads the racers for a ceremonial two-lap run and one o� cial lap prior to the race. It also enters the track in the event of a yellow � ag caution event in order to bunch the cars at a reduced speed. � e winner of the race is awarded the car at the victory banquet.

• Ten women racers have entered at least once. � e � rst female to qualify and compete in the Indy 500 was Janet Guthrie, an aerospace engineer, who drove in the 1977 race. Starting from 18th position, a timing gear failure after just 27 laps forced her to retire from the race. In 2005, Danica Patrick was the � rst woman to actually lead a lap at the Indy 500. She went on to � nish fourth that year, and took third place in 2009. She also has the distinction of being the � rst Indy 500 driver to appear in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

• � e closest � nish in Indy 500 history was in 1992, when Al Unser, Jr. beat Scott Goodyear by just 0.043 of a second.

• � ere have been 60 fatalities associated with the Indy 500, including 38 drivers, 12 mechanics, � ve spectators, two members of the pit crew, two � remen, and a young boy who was struck by a wheel that bounced out of the arena and across the street. Of the 38 drivers, 14 were killed in the actual race, with the remainder perishing during practice or qualifying runs.

• � e � rst Indy 500 winner Ray Harroun took home $14,250 for his prize. Juan Montoya, winner in 2015, had winnings of $2,449,055. Average speed has grown from Harroun’s average speed of 74.602 mph (120.06 km/hr) to a record 187.33 mph (301.644 km/hr) achieved by Tony Kanaan in 2013.

• � e o� cial trophy of the Indy 500 is the Borg Warner Trophy, standing approximately 5 feet, 4 inches (162.5 cm) tall, weighing 153 lbs. (45 kg), crafted of sterling silver. � e original trophy was produced at a cost of $10,000, but today is insured for more than $1.3 million. Every winner’s name and image since 1911 are inscribed on the statue or on its base. � e winners do not receive the actual trophy – it is displayed at the Indy 500 Hall of Fame Museum – but rather a miniature replica, nicknamed “Baby Borg.”

• Tickets to this year’s race varied from $40 for General Admission to $230 for a Penthouse Box seat.

Can Renter be Forced to Give Up His Pet?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m in a dilemma. I’ve had

my dog for about � ve years. “Shera” stays with me in my apartment, one of six in a triple-decker house, and there have been no problems until now. Now, a new owner has bought the house and told me I cannot have a pet: I must either get rid of Shera or move out. What can I do? -- Desperate in Worcester, Massachusetts

DEAR DESPERATE: I feel for you, and I hope I can give you some useful advice in this limited space. My � rst tip is to act fast, and the sooner the better. I recommend immediately contacting your state’s legal services or aid resource, if there is one, to discuss the problem. You also could � nd free or low-cost legal advice through the state’s bar association or perhaps at a local university.Your local library can be a great resource, too -- you can get online for free, and the librarians can be very helpful.Renters have fairly extensive rights in most states. A new landlord usually cannot simply walk in and demand you get rid of your pet. � e existing lease typically cannot be changed suddenly, either. And even if you don’t have a signed lease (some apartments are still “handshake” agreements) the landlord typically must still give reasonable notice of a change in the terms.You also might try o� ering your landlord a non-refundable pet deposit. � ese are sometimes required in rentals that accept pets.� ere’s much more information out there than I have room to write about here. But basically, you have more rights than you think. Stay calm, but immediately start contacting organizations that can help. Send your questions or pet care tips to [email protected].
