I know a few names that could go on the "cageless" list.:thumb
I saw them race even without roll bars for cryin' out loud. Drivers racing in T shirts and jeans and wearing Cromwell helmets. No seat belts or shoulder harnesses. And the drivers had to pump up the pressure in the fuel tanks as they raced.
Offys. AAA. Cincinnati Race Bowl. The old 16th Street Speedway. Dayton Speedway...you now have an idea how long I've been around this.
All I can say is thanks Dad for introducing me to the coolest sport on Earth.
