American sportscar racing reached an interesting crossroads in the mid-1950s when safety concerns crept into the consciousness of race organizers. While racers understood the mortal danger in careening down closed public roads in rollbar-less European roadsters, the focus instead fell on spectator safety after a handful of wayward racecars killed spectators at road courses.
