I was born and raised in Indianapolis and I can remember back in the "50's (I'm really dating myself here), when the drivers in "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" wore partial helmets, (no face protection) T-shirts, Levi's and street shoes or sneakers. And MANY of the cars had no roll bars, it was generally accepted that if you got upside down you were history. Times have sure changed! These days Tony Stewart can get airborne, come down on the roof, slide down half the straightaway and climb out smiling!
