omg it was so unsafe then

This video released on the same day Dan Wheldon is killed in Indie (RIP).

Kind of proves it's still a dangerous sport.

At the pit stop except tires and gasoline also had reserve driver!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of the Mafia game.

My worst fear was to see someone without helmets, thanks god everybody is this clip has one!

Look mom, no seatbelt!

#2 Yes, wow ... we've come a long way

First Snotr Admin: "This video has lots of Car Crashes in it!"
Second Snotr Admin: "Anyone die in it?"
First Snotr Admin: "Looks like quite a few die!"
Second Snotr Admin: "But does it have a cool soundtrack?"
First Snotr Admin: "Yes it's quite japery!"
Second Snotr Admin: "Upload that mutha baby.."

I apreciate the apparently senseless way to live of our grandpas.
In Italy we had Tazio Nuvolari, that was a great champion and it's still much loved

You must have a huge respect for these guys. My idol when I was little was Ayrton Senna. Cried a river when he died

Wow, people with seatbelts and airbags are getting killed out there and these guys be flying out the car and getting up fine lol.

#12 Speed nowadays is quite different...

I felt like watching a snuff movie...
but that was just the good old days...
when people thought it would be safer to be thrown out of the car
then straping urself into it

Well, the guy at 1:44 is toast. Literally.

I guess the sport is alot safer these days: 15 cars crashing in an indie car race and only one perishes. Ofcourse, that's still one too many, but if it were 15 rickety racemobiles then it would be a whole lot more deaths and injuries!

God must love racingsports: he invites everyone over for an autograph!

although they go by 451 km/h nowdays, it looks so much saver than this time here..
why wasnt no one locked by a seatbelt or at least protected vs flip overs.

no ABS, no airbag, no ESP, no assisted steering, no disk brakes but drum brakes .

Perfect music!

Classic one. Really dare devils those days without much protection against accidents.

Safety last !

#18 Indycars use carbon fiber disc brakes at 'super speedways' and steel disc brakes at all other races. These cars are heavier yet faster than F1 cars on the tracks they race on. Good brakes are a must for safety. At this race they were averaging over 220 mph per lap,probably hitting 245 mph or better in the straights

ONLY POLO HATS WILL DO..... hard men... RIP those heros of sport

Brain buckets worn by the completely brainless.
