The guys who drove those cars were all high seniority guys who were pretty much older. The HOT stick was to warn them of the cars power and not kill themselves.
The Hemi Bo29 cars were put into an adjacent lot after they came from Hurst. Went to see them a couple of times. Knew when they were being picked up when open trailers went down Mt Elliot street to the plant. Some racers bypassed the dealer and picked the cars up at the factory.
