Bronze badges allowed gate and garage access during the month and silver badges did the same but also allowed pit access. On race day, one needed a Back Up Card Early bronze badges were indeed bronze, but silver badges were only a silver colored pot metal. Bronze badges began being made of a bronze colored pot metal sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Time_trials_&_ASPAR_boycott"><span id="Time_trials_.26_ASPAR_boycott"></span>Time trials & ASPAR boycott</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1947_Indianapolis_500&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Time trials & ASPAR boycott"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Time trials was scheduled for five days.
