Indianapolis Speedrome

The Indianapolis Speedrome is the oldest operating figure 8 track in the United States as it opened in 1941. It is believed by many historians that this is the first figure 8 track where cars intersect. The Speedrome is home to the World Figure 8 Championships, the Annual Spring Shootout, and the 3 Hour Endurance Race. The Speedrome is the USAC's most active track with 496 events held, and also produced Tony Stewart’s maiden USAC win on August 9, 1991. History Events Carb Night Classic The Speedrome hosted the carb night classic from 1962 to 1964 and then once again in 1979. Three-hour figure 8 championship The three-hour figure 8 championship is an annual three-hour endurance race featuring late models. It began in 1977 and like any other sport had sprees of dominance. The death of Don Vogler On May 1, 1981, Don Vogler and his son Rich Vogler were registered for a USAC midget car feature. Don was about to complete his final warm up lap when he suddenly collided with the wall on turn 3, flipping over the concrete barrier and coming to rest in the catch fence. He was seen gripping his chest before the accident by multiple witnesses. He was pronounced dead in a local hospital a few hours later from blunt force trauma. The cause of accident is believed to be a heart attack. His son later raced in IndyCar and NASCAR but died in 1990 at Salem Speedway. Job Corps riot of 1965 During a Saturday night race in 1965 there were 35 Job Corps men and youths invited as special guests for that night's race. The Job Corps members were siting in the back of a pickup truck, when they started yelling obscenities at women entering the restroom. Later, 15 of the youths were standing by the restroom and continued to yell obscenities at race goers until the spectators confronted and attempted to silence the youths. While the youth were being finally escorted out they began throwing sticks and stones into the crowd. A woman suffered lacerations to her arms. COVID-19 guideline violations On October 3, 2020, a picture of the Speedrome at full capacity surfaced on the media. At this time, the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in place in Marion County had a guideline requiring that all sporting events were to be held at 25% capacity. The Speedrome was fined $1000.

Samara (house)

Samara, also known as the John E. Christian House, is a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The home is an example of the Usonian homes that Wright designed. Samara was built from 1955 to 1956 and was still occupied by the original owner, John E. Christian, until he died on July 12, 2015. History In 1950 John and Kay Christian decided to build a home near Purdue University where they both worked, John as a pharmaceutical chemistry professor and Kay as the social director for the university. After much discussion, they decided that Wright was the architect who suited the ideals for their home. Not knowing how to proceed, John phoned Wright directly at his office and was surprisingly able to speak directly to the famed architect. Over the next six years they worked together both with meetings in West Lafayette, Indiana and at Taliesin, Wright's summer home in Spring Green, Wisconsin. The home was named after the samara. A stylized design of chevron-shaped leaves permeates throughout the design of the home including the clerestory windows, dining chairs and the living room rug. These designs, nicknamed The Winged Seed, are located on the perforated upper windows and were also used on the Bachman-Wilson Usonian home. The house was built for entertaining, especially college students; the living room was designed for 50 people. It featured a long built-in banquette and room for sitting on the stairs. The Christian family maintained the home according to the exacting specifications of its architect. As in many of the homes he designed, Wright specified or designed the entire environment, including the furniture, linens and landscaping. The Christians were not initially able to purchase all of the specified custom details; however, they made an agreement with Wright to continue adding to the home as their budget allowed. The color palette of furniture and design details is brighter and more saturated than other examples of Wright's architecture. This was prompted by Kay Christian who requested brighter colors against Wright's wishes. Wright was finally convinced by his wife, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, who insisted that she would help the Christians with the color design. The result was a palette of vibrant lime green, magenta, and purple combined with more subdued shades of orange, yellow, and beige (see image at left). The home was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2015. It was featured in a mid-2015 exhibit at the Portsmouth Art and Cultural Center. In 2020 $1 million in grants was acquired to make repairs.

Casa de John E. Christian (Samara)

Samara, también conocida como John E. Christian House, es una casa diseñada por Frank Lloyd Wright ubicada en West Lafayette, Indiana. Es un ejemplo de las casas usonianas diseñadas por Wright. Se construyó de 1954 a 1956 y estuvo ocupada por el propietario original, John E. Christian, hasta su muerte el 12 de julio de 2015.​​​​ Historia En 1950, John y Kay Christian decidieron construir una casa cerca de la Universidad de Purdue donde ambos trabajaban: John, como profesor de química farmacéutica y Kay, como directora social de la universidad.​​ Después de mucha discusión, decidieron que Wright era el arquitecto que se adaptaba a los ideales para su hogar.​​ Al no saber cómo proceder, John llamó a Wright directamente a su oficina y, sorprendentemente, pudo hablar directamente con el famoso arquitecto.​​ Durante los siguientes seis años, trabajaron juntos en reuniones en West Lafayette (Indiana), y en Taliesin, la casa de verano de Wright en Spring Green (Wisconsin).​​​ La casa lleva el nombre de la semilla en forma de sámara de árboles que Wright había visto en la propiedad durante su primera visita.​​ Trabajó un diseño estilizado de hojas en forma de galón en todo el diseño de la casa, incluidas las ventanas de los escritorios, las sillas de comedor y la alfombra de la sala.​​ Estos diseños, apodados The Winged Seed, están ubicados en las ventanas superiores perforadas y también se utilizaron en la casa usoniana de Bachman Wilson. La casa fue construida para entretener a los estudiantes universitarios de la familia. El salón fue diseñado para 50 personas.​ Presentaba un largo sofá y espacio para sentarse en las escaleras.​ La familia ha mantenido el hogar según las especificaciones exactas de su arquitecto.​​ Como en muchas de las casas que diseñó, Wright especificó o diseñó todo el entorno, incluidos los muebles, la ropa de cama y el paisajismo.​​ Inicialmente, los Christian no pudieron comprar todos los detalles personalizados especificados; sin embargo, llegaron a un acuerdo con Wright para continuar agregándolos a la casa según lo permitiera su presupuesto.​​ La paleta de colores de los muebles y de los detalles de diseño es más brillante y más saturada que en otros ejemplos de la arquitectura de Wright. Esto fue impulsado por Kay Christian, quien solicitó colores más brillantes contra los deseos de Wright. Éste finalmente fue convencido por su esposa, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, quien insistió en que ella ayudaría a los Christian con el diseño del color.​ El resultado fue una paleta de vibrante verde lima, magenta y púrpura, combinada con tonos más oscuros de naranja, amarillo y beige (véase la imagen). La casa fue designada como Monumento Histórico Nacional en 2015.​ El formulario de nominación​ para el hogar proporciona una descripción muy detallada del hogar con fotos y planos de planta.​ Se presentó en una exposición a mediados de 2015 en el Centro de Arte y Cultura de Portsmouth.​ Véase también Anexo:Obras de Frank Lloyd Wright Referencias Enlaces externos Sitio web oficial
