ALCO BLACK BEAST
The Alco Black Beast won two Vanderbilt Cup Races and ran in the first Indy 500. The first video has pictures from the 1909 race and the second is a video from the 2012 Indy Legends Day celebrating the 100 anniversary with the car running on the track.
Video of the Beast at Indy in 2012 - The sound of its exhaust is just AWESOME!!
Also note the special safety attire of the driver and copilot - optimized to run like hell if something goes awry.
