In the 3rd pic of the 12D, what is that handle looking thing next to the steering wheel?    Looks like a motorcycle/bicycle hand grip..

Could be either a hand clutch, or a hand brake lever. Sometimes the foot box is cramped or the old stock transmission shifting  linkage was cumbersom, having the addition of a hand lever made life eaiser. A couple of my vintage cars have hand levers in them.

In the third photo there's a sign that reads stay in your car or be disqualified. I raced in the the 70's and early eighties on asphalt, I have a terrible memory but I don't remember that being a big issue until after the Tony Stewart incident, where almost all tracks have that rule now. What incident or incidents that happened made Don Jones  come up with that rule?

Think that was to keep Heat Race Winner's to stay in the car.  While they took photos of each heat race winner with the Checkered Flag.
