The race cars of the fifties provided fans and drivers with an entertaining style of auto racing. During this era cars such as the Ferrari and Maserati were as much fun to watch as they were to drive. It has been noted that the race fans of the fifties, were similar to the race fans of today in that they enjoyed having an alcoholic drink while they were watching the race. Just as today, having too many drinks in the fifties could cause legal problems with the law and was dangerous to others on the roadways, especially during weekends when the races were held. A specialist such as a Columbus DUI or OVI lawyer would note the similarities in the two eras, but would probably remind everyone to be safe if they drink.
