I'm 60, saw the Rex Mays Classic at Milwaukee in 1950's and 1960's, so I'm no youngster. I got the books, the Speed Age magazines and videos about the old days. The old days ain't coming back. Hell, the Silver Crown cars these days can't even sell out the Hoosier 100. Where are all of the fans?

Close to half of the drivers that raced the Indianapolis 500 back in the 1950's were killed racing. A point that is always forgotten in these discussions. Look forward or be left behind.

Modern Indy Cars don't have power steering.
