Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, Indy 500, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, North America
The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit (also known as the Stealth Bomber) is an American strategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology designed for penetrating dense anti-aircraft defenses; it is able to deploy both conventional and nuclear weapons. The bomber has a crew of two and can drop up to eighty 500 lb (230 kg)-class JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400 lb (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration. Development originally started under the Advanced Technology Bomber (ATB) project during the Carter administration, and its performance was one of the reasons for his cancellation of the B-1 Lancer. ATB continued during the Reagan administration, but worries about delays in its introduction led to the reinstatement of the B-1 program as well. Program costs rose throughout development. Designed and manufactured by Northrop Grumman with assistance from Boeing, the cost of each aircraft averaged US$737 million (in 1997 dollars). Total procurement costs averaged $929 million per aircraft, which includes spare parts, equipment, retrofitting, and software support. The total program cost including development, engineering and testing, averaged $2.1 billion per aircraft in 1997. Because of its considerable capital and operational costs, the project was controversial in the U.S. Congress and among the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The winding-down of the Cold War in the latter portion of the 1980s dramatically reduced the need for the aircraft, which was designed with the intention of penetrating Soviet airspace and attacking high-value targets. During the late 1980s and 1990s, Congress slashed initial plans to purchase 132 bombers to 21. In 2008, a B-2 was destroyed in a crash shortly after takeoff, and the crew ejected safely. A total of 20 B-2s remain in service with the United States Air Force. Though originally designed primarily as a nuclear bomber, the B-2 was first used in combat to drop conventional bombs on Serbia during the Kosovo War in 1998, and saw continued use during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. B-2s were also used during the 2011 Libyan civil war. In the mid-1970s the search for a new U.S. strategic bomber to replace the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress was underway, to no avail. First the B-70 and then the B-1A were canceled after only a few of each aircraft were built. The B-70 was intended to fly above and beyond defensive interceptor aircraft, only to find these same attributes made it especially vulnerable to surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). The B-1 attempted to avoid SAMs by flying close to the ground to use terrain to mask its radar signature, only to face a new generation of interceptors with look-down/shoot-down capabilities that could attack them from above. By the mid-1970s, it was becoming clear that there was a different way to avoid missiles and intercepts; known today as stealth; the concept was to build an aircraft with an airframe that deflected or absorbed radar signals so that little was reflected back to the radar unit. An aircraft having stealth characteristics would be able to fly nearly undetected and could be attacked only by weapons and systems not relying on radar. Although such possibilities existed such as human observation, their relatively short detection range allowed most aircraft to fly undetected by defenses, especially at night. In 1974, DARPA requested information from U.S. aviation firms about the largest radar cross-section of an aircraft that would remain effectively invisible to radars. Initially, Northrop and McDonnell Douglas were selected for further development. Lockheed had experience in this field due to developing the Lockheed A-12 and SR-71, which included a number of stealthy features, notably its canted vertical stabilizers, the use of composite materials in key locations, and the overall surface finish in radar-absorbing paint. A key improvement was the introduction of computer models used to predict the radar reflections from flat surfaces where collected data drove the design of a faceted aircraft. Development of the first such designs started in 1975 with the hopeless diamond, a model Lockheed built to test the concept. Plans were well advanced by the summer of 1975, when DARPA started the Experimental Survivability Testbed (XST) project. Northrop and Lockheed were awarded contracts in the first round of testing.

INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY-MUSEUM-INDY 500-QUALIFYING-EP28
We left Louisville, and stopped in Indianapolis. Obviously, we had to see the Indy Speedway and Museum! It was exciting because they were gearing up for the Indy 500 on Memorial weekend, just one week away! We were the last group to drive on the racetrack for our tour because the next day they were practicing for the 500! Talk about being in the right place at the right time!!
Well the next day it rained, so we did other things. Serendipity again jumped to our rescue. There turned out to be a giant Mecum Car Auction at the Indiana State Fair Grounds where we were staying. This CG is highly recommended. Its cheap, and is the perfect location for doing lots of things in the area. Full hookup.
The following day we were back at the Indy track for qualifying. All of the drivers were there working to win the pole position for the upcoming race. Multiple cars were almost always on the track at full 225+ miles per hour. It felt like a real race, but with 1/1000th the people around.
We started on the shady side and just followed the sun. We had amazing track access considering we only paid 15 US dollars each, which includes infield close parking. Mark felt like a man because he was able to wear hearing protection and drink beer. You are allowed to bring in your own coolers! He even brought along a stopwatch!
I don't think anyone knew it was normally used to time the rinse cycle during our black tank flush. He made sure to clean it up with some Clorox wipes first. If you don't know what a black tank is,.........it's the naughty one……...

The 56th Indianapolis 500-1972
No copyright infringement is intended with this, or any other video I upload. The purpose of uploading this video is for the viewing pleasure for those that watch it.
This is the 56th Indianapolis 500, run on May 27, 1972. In 1972, the decision was made to move the race back to Memorial Day, which had now become the last Monday in May, instead of May 30, no matter which day of the week it fell on.
After several teams found a way around the rule USAC had about aerodynamic devices needing to be an intergal part of the body of the car, USAC reailzed that it was time to allow wings and other aerodynamic devices to be bolted on, hence the modern-era of IndyCar racing began in 1972.
With this rules change, speeds skyrocketed to never-before thought of levels. In fact, every qualifier for this race qualified faster than Peter Revson did when he won the pole for the 1971 race, including NASCAR driver Cale Yarborough, who was the slowest.
On the other end of things, nobody could touch Bobby Unser, as he shattered every existing record, his his speed of 195.940 MPH was a staggering 17.244 MPH faster than the previous record. Revson and Mark Donohue completed the front row on the second qualifying weekend, as rain hampered qualifying on the first weekend, and not everyone got a shot to qualify that first weekend.
Tragically, Jim Malloy, who finished fourth in the 1971 race, lost his life in a practice crash, and the crash, although seen, is never mentioned.
Unser's domination continued when the race began, but he was out at 30 laps, as was Revson, who only lasted 26 laps. Meanwhile, Mike Mosley, charging from mid-field, battled with Gary Bettenhausen, the man who pulled him out of his car the previous year after his late-race crash, for the lead until he crashed on lap 57. Bettenhausen was the dominant figure from that point on, but others, such as Jerry Grant, Unser's teammate, and Donohue, were never far behind.
And while they were never in contention for the lead, all three Vel's-Parnelli Jones Racing cars also hovered, looking for trouble to strike the leaders late, and it did for two of them. First, Bettenhausen fell out due to overheating issues, then Grant ran into trouble, as he suffered a loose wheel, forcing an unscheduled pit stop, where things totally got out of hand.
Dan Gurney's team motioned Grant to stop in Bobby Unser's pit, which was within the rules, but his car took on fuel from Unser's tank, a violation of the rules which resulted in his last 12 laps not being scored and Gurney's team being fined $75,000. It dropped Grant from second, where he crossed the finish line, all the way to 12th place. That allowed Mark Donohue to score the first victory at Indy for Roger Penske. Donohue set a record 500 of 162.962 MPH for the race, an record at wouldn't be broken until 1984 when Rick Mears, also driving for Penske, broke that record.
As a result of the penalty handed to Grant, Al Unser, seeking a third consecutive win, finished second, but was nearly four laps behind, with Joe Leonard winding up third, and Sam Sessions fourth. Mario Andretti, in the third Vel's-Parnelli Jones car, was fourth entering the leader's final lap, but ran out of fuel, and finished eighth behind Sam Posey, Lloyd Ruby (who had his usual misfortune, this time in the form of a broken front wing), and Mike Hiss. But there was still more controversy, which was unlreated to the finish.
Despite running and finishing better than fellow rookie Mike Hiss all month long, Sam Posey, who finished fifth, was passed over for Rookie of the Year honors in favor of Hiss. This may have been due to the fact that Hiss drove for Andy Granatelli, who still had a lot of pull in the racing community.
Rounding out the top ten were Jimmy Caruthers and Cale Yarborough, the slowest qualifier, who survived three bump attempts from Wally Dallenbach. Dallenbach got in the race as a result of being called in to replace Art Pollard, after Pollard was injured in a mid-week practice run after qualifying for the race in another of Granatelli's cars.
Of note, the controversial P.A.C.E.R. light system debuted in this race, and would remain the system USAC used to slow down the cars during caution periods through the 1978 race. How it worked is explained in the presentation.
All credits go to SPEED (SpeedVision, the predecessor to the current SPEED Channel, originally aired the content in the video), USAC, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Championship Racefilms.

Description: The Indianapolis 500-Mile Race is an automobile race held annually at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, United States, an enclave suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana. The event is held over Memorial Day weekend in late May. It is contested as part of the IndyCar Series, the top level of American Championship Car racing, an open-wheel open-cockpit formula colloquially known as Indy Car Racing. The name of the race is often shortened to Indy 500, and the track itself is nicknamed the Brickyard, as the racing surfacing was paved in brick in the fall of 1909. The event, billed as The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, is considered part of the Triple Crown of Motorsport, which comprises three of the most prestigious motorsports events in the world, also including the Monaco Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The official attendance is not disclosed by Speedway management, but the permanent seating capacity is upwards of 250,000, and infield patrons raise the race-day attendance to approximately 300,000.The inaugural race was held in 1911 and was won by Ray Harroun. The event celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011, and the 100th running was held in 2016. Will Power is the current champion. The most successful drivers are A. J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr., and Rick Mears, each of whom have won the race four times. The active driver with the most victories is Hélio Castroneves, with three. Rick Mears holds the record for most career pole positions with six. The most successful car owner is Roger Penske, owner of Team Penske, which has 17 total wins and 17 poles. The event is steeped in tradition, in pre-race ceremonies, post-race celebrations, and race procedure. The most noteworthy and most popular traditions are the 33-car field, the annual singing of Back Home Again in Indiana, and the victory lane bottle of milk.

The Alco Black Beast at Legends Day at the 2012 Indy 500
This 8-minute video documents the four laps of the 1909 Alco Black Beast and 25 other vintage racers on Legends Day at the 2012 Indy 500 weekend. Driven by Howard Kroplick with mechanician Sam Greco, the Black Beast reached a top speed of 70 mph. Several of the racers can be seen passing the Black Beast at speeds of over 150 mph. Mario Andretti congratulated Howard Kroplick at the conclusion of a lap.
The video was shot primarily using a helmut Go-Pro camera and a lap camera mounted above the right front tire.
More information on the Alco Black Beast can be found at
