no glass containers allowed in the cars now---cup holders mandatory
Jim and I discussed this question over breakfast yesterday. I had to tell Jim that I know nothing about what is going on in the flathead world today and suggested he post his question here and surely there are members who could answer his questions. Jim raced these things in the 40s and 50s. He just wants to know what the present rules are. Who knows? He may actually return to the driver's seat. He is surely capable of doing so.
My arms would get tired by the middle of turn 2 . LOL
