    For someone who attends the races every Saturday racing or not I have never stopped to think back in the 1920 's how a car was set up. In many pictures of cars back in the day you see them without roll cages, window nets, good seat belts, or even a helmet. Safety of race cars has changed drastically over the past 95 years.
