1982 Dick Simon Race Used Leader Card Racing IndyCar Helmet

Simon drove Indy cars in USAC and CART, with 17 starts at the Indianapolis 500. At the 1988 Indianapolis 500, Simon set a record as the oldest driver in Indy 500 history at 54 years old, a record that was later broken by A. J. Foyt.

Simon then became a team owner, founding Dick Simon Racing, helping to begin the Indy car careers of Stephan Gregoire, Arie Luyendyk, Raul Boesel, Lyn St. James, and many others. Simon had a notable record at the Indy 500. Of the many rookies he entered at Indy over the years, not a single one failed to qualify for the race. Simon never won a race as a driver or as an owner. His best finish as a driver was 3rd at Ontario, and as an owner he had six second-place finishes. Simon had a best finish at the Indianapolis 500 of 6th in 1987 (as a driver), and 4th in 1993 as an owner with Boesel.

The historic helmet comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
