Fairfax Iron Company

The headquarters of Fairfax Iron Company

The **Fairfax Iron Company**, also simply known as **Fairfax Iron**, was a company previously owned by John Fairfax and his father before him. It later changed ownership due to the death of John Fairfax, passing into control of a niece and nephew of his.

Fairfax one was one of several major companies that dealt in merchandise related to dealing with the Problem and providing defences against ghosts, two of the other most major ones being United Salts and the Sunrise Corporation.

## History

Even prior to the Problem, Fairfax Iron was one of the leading manufacturers of iron products. The Problem proved a huge boon to the company, as iron was quickly discovered to be one of the three most major defences against ghosts, in-between silver and salt.

Upon the advent of the problem, Fairfax Iron immediately began supplying seals, filings and chains to the Fittes and Rotwell agencies, the two most major ghost-hunting agencies of London and the United Kingdom as a whole. They also provided the iron which went into the protective ghost-lamps that were erected to provide nighttime protection against ghosts.

These products alone were more than enough to ensure the company's fortune. They, however, also produced a number of consumer products which increased their wealth even further, including iron gnomes dotting people's houses, iron necklaces, and bracelets adorning the arms of babies leaving hospitals.

After the death of John Fairfax, Angeline Crawford, a niece of his, became the new head of the company. She was one of many individuals who attended a black-tie party celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Fittes Agency. Anthony Lockwood stated that it was probably best that he and his fellow agents of Lockwood & Co. probably not make small-talk with her due to them having killed her uncle. When Carlyle pointed out that she didn't actually know this, Lockwood said that there was still such a thing as good form.

Spectral Wind

Light Spectral Wind caused by Annabel Ward moving the hair of Lucy Carlyle

**Spectral wind**, sometimes called psychic impact, is an occurrence associated with the manifestation of a ghost. It is unclear whether spectral wind is entirely under the control of the ghost or partially unconscious. It ranges from gentle breeze to gale-force winds that can move furniture or people. Poltergeists in particular manifest spectral winds since they have no physical apparition, which makes them all the more dangerous. Type Twos are more likely to employ this ability than Type Ones.

## Examples

### Annabel Ward

*Main article: Annabel Ward*
The ghost of Annabel Ward manifestation mostly caused mild spectral winds, moving hair and paper, but was, seemingly consciously, also able to use stronger forces for short amounts of time, allowing her to push Lucy Carlyle through the railing in 62 Sheen Road.

### Edmund Bickerstaff

*Main article: Edmund Bickerstaff*
The ghost of Edmund Bickerstaff was able to control strong spectral winds even when mostly covered with silver and surrounded by iron. These winds were strong enough to knock down anybody, whether prepared or not. If his source was free of interference, the winds would have likely been even stronger.

Gallows Wraith

An artists illustration of a Wraith

A **Gallows Wraith** is a Type Two Ghost. A malignant subtype of Wraith, found at former places of execution. Their apparition often gives a detailed account of their method of execution. They often display varying levels of aggression, but are almost exclusively aggressive. They appear to not have as strong malaise as the wraith, but exact details of this are unknown.

## Notable Hauntings

### Old Crack-neck

A manifestation known as 'Old Crack-neck' is probably the most famous Gallows Wraith of all. It managed to kill three agents that hunted it and came to larger media attention. It is known to have haunted Tyburn Fields, which probably refers to the ward in Birmingham, UK, but might also refer to the district of London.

### Wimbledon Wraiths

The Wimbledon Wraiths were a particularly aggressive cluster of Gallows Wraith's that haunted Mallows End, Wimbledon. They were powerful manifestations and managed to overwhelm and almost kill agents of Lockwood & Co., who only anticipated a single manifestation, not a cluster. Their source was a gallows mark, a stone that marks the exact place above which the bodies of the hanged swung while they were rotting. The cluster was ultimately neutrilized by Quill Kipps' team of the Fittes Agency.

The Plane of Shadows

#### What is the Origin of the Plane of Shadow? In some conflicting stories (more specifically FR), the Plane originated as a Demiplane and slowly expanded outward as it was created by an Arcanist, however in others (Greyhawk) it always was. Can it be assumed that the Realm is older than Greyhawk in terms of age?

In the oldest times, Water and Fire met, and Air and Earth met,
and where they clashed there were Steam and Dust. In those times,
Positive and Negative met, and where they clashed there was Shadow.

The Planes became more distant, giving way to a greater reality, a
different order. Dust and Steam vanished, forming anew as quasielemental
 planes. Shadow, however, slipped into the Ether.

Contained as it was, Shadow was a demiplane, enrobed in the shell only
the Deep Ethereal could provide. It was the greatest of demiplanes,
though, for it was barely containable as such. From behind the edge of
the horizon, just beyond mortals' ability to see, Shadow waited in the
Ethereal for visitors, travelers and explorers.

When the fulcrum of the multiverse shook and the new order trembled,
Shadow broke free, rushing through the Deep Ethereal like oil through
water, rushing toward the Material Planes and enveloping them as it
pushed its way out of its accidental prison. Still tied by a million
tiny threads to the Ethereal, but supporting its independence with
similar cords to the Astral, Shadow secured itself as a new Transitive
Plane lurking at the borders of the Material Plane.

#### How would you describe Shadowstuff? I've never actually seen any physical description of it (assuming you can even hold it with your hands) and have only heard it was a big blob of darkness that appears almost alive (that last line concerns me on that note).

Have you ever seen Mary Poppins? There's a scene in which she
turns billowing smoke from a chimney into a staircase. The nebulous
edges of the smoke conceal what exactly is solid and what is just
darkness, but the result is still a functioning stairway. Shadowstuff is
 much the same way. It is akin to the non-Newtonian fluid made from
cornstarch and water, only airy. To brush it, it is a smoky nothing, but
 to squeeze it, it becomes solid. Another way to envision it is to
picture long, thin strings of black/purple/grey silk. Hold them at one
end, and you could pass your hand through the dangling ends as though
cutting through a silky gauze. Give it a twist, though - braid it, in
the case of the strings - and it becomes both solid and quite firmly
strong.

In any event, shadowstuff has that nebulous, vaguely smoky quality to
it. In color it ranges from a deep black to a dark purple hue to a dank,
 foggy gray. In texture it's a bit cool to the touch - even if you
aren't "touching" it - and soft but firm, like a velvet coating over
steel. It's odorless, tasteless and isn't quite where you expect it to
be - usually 1-20 mm deeper in than where it looks like it is, depending
 on the amount and the consistency.
Kat Godwin

**Kat Godwin** is an agent and member of Kipps's team from the Fittes Agency.

On the *Lockwood & Co.* TV series, Kat Godwin is portrayed by Rhianna Dorris.

## Characteristics

### Physical attributes

Kat Godwin is stony faced with a very sharp chin, according to Lucy Carlyle. She has grey-blue eyes, and blonde hair cut into a severe bob which is cut short in the back, and has a flick of hair that falls close to her eye.

### Personality

Kat isn't endowed with much of a personality, remaining neutral for most of the books. She is described as having no sense of humor and being overly serious. Throughout the series, Kat has a general disdain for Lockwood & Co. that is not remedied by working with them. Despite her dislikable traits, she is loyal to her team and takes the loss of Ned Shaw with difficulty.

### Contributions

Kat is a Listener like Lucy, albeit slightly less sensitive. She is not as sympathetic for ghosts than Lucy does, probably as a result of her traditional training with Fittes. She is a competent swordswoman and possesses good instincts, but is not given any personal moments of glory.

## Behind the scenes

* The name of the character was written as "*Kat* Godwin" throughout the second book, *The Whispering Skull*, whereas it was "*Kate* Godwin" throughout the third book, *The Hollow Boy*. For the *Lockwood & Co.* TV series, it is given as Kat Godwin.
Leopold Winkman

**Leopold Winkman** was the son of Julius and Adelaide Winkman. He was about 12 or 13 years old the first time Lockwood & Co. encountered him. He was described as a miniature version of his father.

On the *Lockwood & Co.* TV series, Leopold is portrayed by Conall Turner.

## Physical attributes

Leopold Winkman was described as being on the short side, with a bulky but diminished physique like that of a wrestler. He was in his mid-teens and with a toad-like mouth strongly resembling that of his father, wearing a hat with a wide brim and a designer suit.

Gehenna

==== I understand the infinite nature of the planes makes the 'how are there infinite Gods' not that big of a problem but...

Gehenna has infinite space but limited land to put stuff. Assuming the
Gods are at least somewhat distributed in their Outer Planes habitation, how is Gehenna not wall-to-wall Divine Realms of petty Gods from backwater Primes trying to make a home there? Are some Gods (an infinite number I suppose) forced to make their lairs in the void
between earthburgs? Or does Gehenna uniquely have a limited number of Gods living on it? ====

Some few gods do in fact live on private little islands in the void, but the vast majority reside on one of the mounts. While the land
has an "edge," it is still a component of an infinite plane; Khalas, Chamada, Mungoth and Krangath are all circumferentially infinite, so it's not really all that crowded. How does that even work? Outer Planes.

I should mention, most gods who inhabit Gehenna maintain their realms on the first two furnaces. Mungoth and Krangath, as with many other "deep" layers, have far fewer permanent residents.

The Author
Ezekiel

## Personal information

### Affiliation

* Marissa Fittes

**Ezekiel** is a Type Three Ghost.

## Biography

Ezekiel is the Type Three who Marissa Fittes consults with, in the same way that Lucy consults with the Skull, though he seems to be of more help than the Skull. He tells a young Marissa Fittes the secrets of ghosts, ectoplasm, immortality, and many more topics that are only alluded to. His motivations and background are not explored. The only detail given on his character is that he had watched kingdoms rise and fall, implying that he had been dead for a long while.

## Characteristics

### Physical attributes

His apparition is described as having a golden aura. [Spoilers] As the scene with Penelope progresses, he gets angrier and his form condenses into a darker, "bestial" shape. After his Source is contained, he dissolves into ash-like fragments and blows away.

### Abilities

Ezekiel is old, intelligent, and powerful. He displays his capabilities by flinging objects with a flick of a finger. How much power and knowledge he has are not clearly measured or stated.

Despite his great power, Ezekiel is ultimately not a match for the Skull, despite his dismissal of the Skull's capabilities when restrained by the jar. Upon being released from the jar, the thin-faced youth that was the actual ghostly form of the Skull is able to simply reverse all of Ezekiel's attacks. When he flicks objects, the Skull simply flicks them back. When he attempts to create a Poltergeist-like storm, the Skull simply nullifies it with an answering wind.

Mulhorand

#### Is Earth the source of the original Mulhulorandi immigrants, or was that just another world where the Egyptian pantheon was also big? If it was the former, than Earth may get a mention in the history books.

Earth is the source of the original slaves who became the Mulan people, the ancestors of Unther and Mulhorand. However, the Imaskari likely didn't record the name of the world they came from, if they even knew it existed, and the Mulan people wouldn't have known at that level of their cultural existence that they were brought from an alternate Prime or what its name was, nor have they demonstrated a serious interest in their travelly past. Given that a span of nearly 500 years exists between when the portals were opened and when the Imaskari recorded their arcane lore, chances are pretty good that mentions of Earth are nonexistent.
Rotwell Agency

**Rotwell Agency** is the second-oldest and most widely hired psychical investigation agency in London.

The agency's symbol is a sword, inspired by the homemade sword Tom Rotwell used destroying the Mud Lane Phantom. Beside him during the encounter was Marissa Fittes holding a lantern, which also became the Fittes Agency's symbol.

Another symbol of the agency is a lion and its mascot is Roger the Lion.

## History

### Creation

Around 1962,*[citation needed]* several of the first Visitors appeared in Britain, including two cases called the Highgate Terror and the Mud Lane Phantom.*[citation needed]* The country was clueless, and deaths begun to pile up. As panic rose, Marissa Fittes and Tom Rotwell, two teens, were able to locate the Source of both the Highgate Terror and Mud Lane Phantom and subdue them. In the Mud Lane case, the remains of a highwayman named Long Hugh Hennratty was the source, subdued by Rotwell between June 19-25 1962,*[citation needed]* while Fittes held the ghost off with an iron rail. Their adventures became national news, and Visitors and their danger were soon common knowledge. Fittes' and Rotwell's success is still revered and constantly referred to in psychic education. As the Problem continued grow, so did the need for a solution. Soon, Marissa Fittes set up the first psychical investigation agency, and Rotwell followed.

### Growth

The agency had become to be known also for its inventions on equipment that deals with ghosts. One of its centers were built in Aldbury Castle. The building was erected atop a land where a ninth-century battle had occurred between Vikings and Saxons. The old battle left a great deal of sources for the agency to experiment on. Using this resources, they began to created all the equipments, which later will be used by their agent. Later, they started to sell the equipments they made to the other agencies.

### Demise

Lockwood & Co. discovered the Rotwell Agency to be secretly conducting illegal experiments, trespassing on the Other Side and stirring up ghost activity. Following this discovery and the death of Steve Rotwell, the Rotwell Agency was absorbed into the Fittes Agency.

### Notable Abilities

Radiating feelings of melancholy, malaise, no known ghost-lock

A **Floating Bride** is a female Type One Ghost, a variety of Cold Maiden. Floating Brides are generally headless, or missing another part of their anatomy. Some search for their missing extremity; others cradle it or hold it mournfully aloft.

## Notable Hauntings

Wimbledon Wraiths

## Wimbledon Wraiths Cluster

*This article refers to the Cluster. For the case, see Wimbledon Wraiths Case.*
The Wimbledon Wraiths Cluster was a cluster active in Wimbledon. It consisted of 14 very aggressive Gallows Wraith's and was secured by the Fittes Agency, after an unsuccessful attempt by Lockwood & Co..

## History

The woods near Earlsfield Crossroads had featured an execution site, more specifically a gibbet, around the 17th century. At least one criminal of the cluster, John Mallory, was hung in 1744, but other dates are unknown. As all of the executions were criminals, manifestation was very likely, given the violent nature of their deaths. This was further amplified by the populous leaving their bodies hanging, left to "the attention of the crowes and carrion-birds" before the remains were buried somewhere near. Unlike most cases, these remains were not the source, but rather the gallows mark, above which the strung up bodies hung for days.

In the times of the problem, the forested site now known as Mallory's End, in reference to John Mallory, had become a toddler's playground. The sighting of a Wraith had made the playground rather unattractive, and the mayor of Wimbledon set out an open commission for any agency to seal the source of the haunting.

## Abilities and Behaviour

Even in the early evening, the source emitted feelings of creeping fear and notable chill. This was combined with first apparitions, often only seen as shadows in the trees. During the night, the cluster would start to manifest, with more and more apparitions becoming visible. All of these were aggressive, starting their attack quickly after forming. The Clusters slow manifestation could lead agents to not notice the sheer amount of apparitions suddenly forming until it was too late. This was made even more dangerous as the cluster would surround it's victims, making an escape only possible through quick and coordinated action using flares or other defences against ghosts.

The apparitions of the cluster were all easily classifiable as Gallows Wraiths, displaying cut off hands, broken necks and a general look probably caused by days strung up after death. Notably, the cluster did not appear to emit a strong ghost-lock, which was uncommon for Wraiths.

Iron

Iron is a metal and one of the most ancient and important protections against ghosts. It is used by everyone for a multitude of purposes, as ordinary people secure their homes with iron decorations or carry it on their person as wards, and agents use iron rapiers and chains for both attack and defense.

## Uses

### Ghost-Huntung

*Main article: Ghost-hunting*
Iron is a must-have tool for ghost-hunting. It is used for flares, most rapiers, iron chains and iron filings. It's anti-ghost and anti-ectoplasm properties make it invaluable, as a good rapier can easily dissolve ectoplasm and strong iron chains will keep even powerful type two ghosts at bay.

### Defensive

*Main article: Defences against ghosts*
While iron chains are great for in-the-moment protection during a hunt, most homes are secured using more permanent iron protections. While some homes use iron plates in the ground, iron gnomes in gardens, iron knockers on doors, iron charms or other household items specifically made from iron, other, specialized tools, are often more effective. This includes iron bars securing windows, iron lines in the ground or iron doors or doorframes.

### Sealing

Iron is also used in large quantities for sealing specifically haunted places. It is plastered over haunted places, limiting any psychic interference and often securing places for good.

## Manufacturing

### Fairfax Iron Company

*Main article: Fairfax Iron Company*
The Fairfax Iron Company is the leading supplier of iron in the UK. They supplied hunting supplies, like seals, filings and chains, but also ghost-lamps to the government and personal and home protection to ordinary citizens. With this broad range of products, the company had a secure place in britains economy and was frequently visited by government representatives.

Manifestation

**Manifestation** is the summary term for the attributes of the appearance, effects, and actions of a ghost. This includes the physical attributes of the Visitor itself, visual occurrences, and the effects a ghost has on the living.

## Definition

### Physical Attributes

All ghosts except Poltergeists appear visually in some form or fashion, for those with good enough Sight to see them. They may appear as they were before their death, or they may reflect the current state of their corpse. Changers are able to manipulate their appearance, such as in The Screaming Staircase where the ghost at Combe Carey Hall manifested as blood in the Red Room and monks on the Staircase itself. Some ghosts are barely visible even to those with good Sight, which makes them all the more dangerous.

### Visual Occurrences

Along with their physical form, a ghost often has visual effects that accompany their manifestation. Some of these are ectoplasmic and would ghost-touch any agent who came in contact with them, while others are harmless. Examples of this are ghost-fog and other-light, which are both common occurrences with varying levels of danger associated with them. Ghost-fog is largely diffuse and therefore not dangerous, but in rare cases it condenses and should be avoided.

### Effects of a Ghost

Depending on the strength and type of the Visitor, it has certain abilities or effects on the living. The most dangerous of these abilities is ghost-touch, which kills almost on contact but can be treated in small cases. Almost ghosts that manifest physical forms are capable of killing through ghost-touch, the exception being extremely weak Type Ones such as Glimmers. Additionally, ghosts involuntarily generate effects that mess with the emotions of the living, dulling them or blowing them out of proportion.

## Elements of a Manifestation

* Aura
* Apparition
* Chill
* Creeping fear
* Death-glow
* Ghost-fog
* Ghost-touch
* Malaise
* Miasma
* Other-light
* Spectral wind

## Trivia

* Agents frequently chew gum or eat chocolate to combat miasma.
* Agents with strong Sight occasionally have to wear sunglasses to shield their eyes from bright death-glows.
Camping World Truck Series

**The NASCAR Camping World Truck** series (or the series actually has a field full of developmental drivers not just Sprint cup regulars going for extra money) is the third series below the NASCAR Sprint cup series. Drivers range from young kids trying to start up to wash up Sprint Cup Series drivers trying to have career resurrections. It is also some of the most exciting racing in the entire NASCAR series because unlike the two higher series the trucks are not easy to master nor is it a simple task to transfer Sprint cup technology into a truck rather than a stock car.
Iron chains

### Effectiveness

Useful against all types of ghosts, although stronger Visitors may require bigger chains

### Sold/Available at

Satchell's

**Iron chains** are typically used to create a protective circle for agents. They come in several weights or gauges and may be clipped together at the ends to prevent unraveling. They are effective against all types of ghosts, but most often used in cases involving Type Twos because filings aren't strong enough.

## Notable Uses

### Combe Carey Hall's Red Room

*Main article: Combe Carey Hall*
During their hunt in Combe Carey Hall, a team from Lockwood & Co. tried to hunt inside the fabled Red Room, one of the most haunted rooms in Britain, which had already claimed the lives of two Agents of the Fittes Agency. Inside the room, they encountered a cluster with abilities of a changer. They set up a ring of Iron Chains, which proved to be useless, as the powerful ghost was able to invade the middle of the ring, where the protection was weakest. This was probably partly due to the sheer power of the ghost, and partly due to the ring being too big.

### Edmund Bickerstaff's unmarked grave

*Main article: Edmund Bickerstaff*
Edmund Bickerstaff's unmarked grave was located on Kensal Green Cemetery. During the excavation, protected by Lockwood & Co., Bickerstaff's grave was circled with iron chains. This proved to be ineffective though, as the extremely strong apparition was able to break out of the circle.

Abbo Ob Aman ist Staatsalchimist im neu entstanden Reich der Unabhänigen Stämme Asimilan.

## HIntergrund

Früher war Abbo ein glückliches Kind. Fröhlich ritt er mit seinen Stammesschwestern und Brüdern durch die weiten Steppen Yaromos. Doch alles änderte sich als er zum ersten mal in seinem Leben die prachtvolle Hauptstadt Xeria erblickte. Von nun an stand sein Leben im Zeichen es Ergeizes und Feuers. Mit der gnadenlosigkeit der Wüste und dem Feuer des sengenden Sonne began er seinen aufstieg durch die Ränge der Magie.

Nach wenigen Jahren hatte Abbo sich endlich einen Platz im Palast erarbeitet und konnte sich nun um die Position des Obersten Magiers bemühen. Wenn es da nicht Marzug, le’l ori Abd ’el’ Koshif ’el’ Tibon, Abu ’el’ amon’el’ Rashad, Diaab gäbe. Dieser dreimal verfluchter, erbsenzählende Ordnungsfetischist stand Abbo noch im Weg und leider ging wegen Sabotage jedes mal die Stellung an Mok'tar. Vermutlich hat auch die starke Ausrichtung von Abbo Forschung in Richtung Feuerwaffen und Kriegsgeräte für ungenade gesorgt.

Nach dem Abbo diese stete Erniedrigungen jahrelang beharlich ertrug, trieb ihn die Verzweiflung dazu stetig größer werdende Risiken in seiner Forschung einzugehen. Und es kam, wie es kommen musst: Die Steuerfahndung Yaromos stand an der Schwelle zu Abbo's Labor. Die Forschung versachten zu viele Kolleteralschäden und wurden nicht mehr finaziert. So beschloss der gnädige Padischar Abbo's Fertigkeiten im umstrittene Königreich, das nun als U.S.A. bekannt ist einzusetzten. Der Volksmund meind dies sei zum Wohle aller und dort seien die Schäden nicht zu groß.

So begab es sich, dass Abbo mit seinen heutigen Verbündeten 4 Jahre lang in einen Wettstreit um die Hoheit antrat. Während dieser Jahre der Eroberung und Rückeroberung wuchsen jedoch die Zinsen auf die Steuerschuld und die Erträge konnten nicht durch die Eroberungen von Abbo bezahlt werden. Da auch sein Steuerberaten nach 2 Jahren in einem Taktischenschlag auf die Kriegsversorgung durch die heutige Demokratorien getötet wurde, began alles zu Eskalieren.

Der Papierkrieg mit Yaromo wurde eröffnet. Schon früher war Abbo kein Freund der Bürokratie gewesen, doch als er nun eigenständig seine Kosten, Ausgaben, Sonderausgaben, Altersvorsorge, Krankenpflege, Unfallversichung, Laborzuschläge, Söldnermehrwerte und Kamehlscheiße abrechnen musst, began Wahnsinn sich in ihm auszubreiten. Keine 2 Jahr war vergangen, als er beschloss diesem ein Ende zu bereiten und suchte den Frieden mit seinen bisherigen Rivalen im Kampf. Mok'tar konnte ihm aber weiterhin gestohlen bleiben, da er für ihn zu einem Symbol für alles geworden war, das in Yaromo falsch lief.

Der Rest ist wie bekannt geschehen und Abbo schafte es, sein eigenens Königreich zu schaffen und dort die Position des Staatsalchemisten einzunehmen. Nun bleib ihm noch der Traum das Eigene Reich zu vergrößern und dort seiner Hingabe zum Feuer weiter zu fröhnen.

The **IndyCar series** is a failed vision by angry individuals upset about the state of open wheel racing in America who decided they wanted to Americanize open wheel racing. It is best known for bringing up race car driver such as Tony Stewart and Danica Patrick. In 2007 it merged with the competitor series Champ Car and once again turned into a recycling center for washed up Formula One wannabes bringing in drivers such as Juan Pablo Montoya, Rubens Barricello, Justin Wilson and Tukomo Sato. It is also known for creating drivers who never had a chance to make it the Formula One such as Dario Franchitti Tony Kannan, Scott Dixon, Michael and Marco Andretti, Helio Castronevs, and many more. Famous team owners include Roger Penske, Sam Schmidt, AJ Foyt, and the Andretti family.

The biggest race in the series is the Indianapolis 500. It is known worldwide as the most anti-climactic race on the planet.

## History

### Early History

IndyCar was founded in 1996 when Tony George owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway wanted to Americanize open wheel racing. The goal was to race exclusively on ovals in what appeared to be an attempt to kill as many drivers as possible and glorify oval racing in order to hype up the dying animal known as the Indianapolis 500.

The competitor series CART decided to try to compete with the race staging a even more idiotic race at Michigan International Speedway on the same day. The Idea made many of the more talented drivers decide to race in CART for points and skip the Indy 500.

This move led to unqualified idiots attempting to run the Indy 500. This gave rise to wonder talented and well remembered drivers such as Joe Gosek, Tyce Carlson and of course JJ Yeley
