One of the most important races in America, dubbed “The Greatest Spectacle In Racing” by Alice Green in 1955, the Indianapolis 500 has become closely associated with the state of Indiana itself (Indy). As one of the first racetracks in the United States, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway opened in 1909 to convince people to buy a moderately new invention; the automobile. Since then, the one hundred and ten year old track has evolved with the times, going from a grueling seven-hour race with overly complicated and under-functioning timekeeping mechanisms with racers reaching speeds of up to eighty miles an hour to a race that had drivers reaching speeds of over two hundred miles an hour, with to-the-second updates on positions and laps, all of which happens over the course of only three to five hours. It has survived two World Wars and the Great Depression and continues to be a symbol of Indiana to the rest of the United States and the world.
The first races on the track were hard to follow and even harder to understand. The track was paved with tar and asphalt, which also led to many accidents and casualties in the first few years of the track’s history. This nearly broke the racing industry. As said in the New York Times; “(These races) are an amusement congenial only to savages and should be stopped. There is abundant legal warrant for doing so.” (Keefer) However, the builder of the course, Carl Fisher, did not close the racetrack. Instead, he repaved the entire raceway with bricks and dreamed of a grueling grind of a race that would last most of the day. And so, the Indy 500 was born.
With the first Indy 500 being in 1911, the Indianapolis 500 started roughly. With 40 drivers participating, most with onboard mechanics to pump oil and watch for other drivers (Ray Harroun drove the only one-seater car in the race), the multiple different news reports and retellings of the race had several various details upon which none could completely agree upon what had exactly happened. (Leershen). Who pulled to the front and when they did so, if the events actually even happened, and where they happened on the track were all details that not many accounts could agree with at given times in the race. One accident that reportedly happened is not an official accident; while several sources said that Teddy Tetzlaff and Louis Disbrow crashed, fracturing the pelvis of the mechanic riding with Tetzlaff. The official report says that both cars were out of the race long before any of the reported times of the incident.
As the years passed, the race would go on to face more challenges. One of the more major events to happen to the race was World War II. For four years in a row, the race wasn’t run. The track was scheduled to be demolished, and the land to be developed into a plaza (Keefer). However, in 1945, Anton Hulman Jr. bought the doomed raceway and revived the Indianapolis 500. The race boomed in popularity, and many things that have come tradition for the Indy 500 was introduced. From the first call of “Gentleman, start your engines” to James Melton singing “(Back Home Again in) Indiana” for the first time in 1946, the Indy 500 was entering its golden age (Keefer). Cars were being constantly improved for faster, safer racing, and the number and span of fans soared. It reached its peak in the ’80s, and it has been a mainstay in the racing community ever since.
The Indianapolis 500 has led to many advancements and changes to technology, and the race itself helped to shape racing as a whole. Many of the common things you find on both racetracks and the common automobile came from developments originally from the Indy 500. Several of the most commonly known is the seatbelt and the rear-view mirror. A decade before seat belts were mandatory in all US road cars, Ray Crawford walked away from a head-on collision without injury due to the fact he was wearing a seatbelt. Even before that, in 1922, a would-be racer put a seatbelt into their car (they later opted out to drive the pace car due to safety concerns on his part) (Saunders). The winner of the first Indy 500, Ray Harroun, used the first rear-view mirror. This also meant that he wouldn’t have to drive with another person in the car to spot for him. By the end of the 1910s, the rear-view mirror was in most cars (Saunders).

hey here's a little critique on Hinata Hayashi - if she is 364 dimensional years but basically has the height and weight of i would guess maybe a 15 or 16 year old, then does she have wrinkles? how is she human but still be so old? i would also add a bit more backstory to Hinata. sorry about all that, just some critique that could be helpful

Well, she basically uses magic to take on the appearance of someone that age. She's not the biggest fan of wrinkles. And I'm trying to work out all the dets for her backstory rn.

I think one if the saddest things is when you don’t want anything anymore. You’re not in despair, you know you’re not alone, you know it can get better, but you dont want any of it. You’re just tired of living. I’m not sure if anyone can really help at that point.
