Rules Changed For Rookie Driver Test # INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The American automobile association has announced a rule change governing the test rookie drivers must pass to be permitted in the 500 - mile Indianapolis Speedway race. The rule is designed to permit the driver more:time watching-the dips and turns on the mile track and less time watching the instrument panel. Heretofore drivers had been required to drive within a mile per hour in taking tests at 115 mph, 120 mph and 125 mph. Now they will be allowed to go tour miles per hour over the limit but only one under for their tests. When drivers take the 125 mph section of their test, veteran drivers are stationed around the track and must pass on the driver’s traffic awareness before he is certified to drive on the brick and asphalt track. Fuel injector trouble forced four drivers to the sidelines momentarily while the injectors. w*hich replace the carburetor of the conventional car. were returned to the factory, Thursday. High winds also hampered practice for qualifications, May 14-15 and 21-22. at the track Thursday, but weathermen said today’s conditions would be almost ideal for the track. Johnnie Parsons, of Van Nuys, Calif., who won the 1950 rainshortened. race arrived at the Speedway. He has yet so ihake arrangements to drive a car but said he would be in the race if, he had to buy a “Ford." Most “available” cars for Parsons are the Bardahl-Ferrari foreign entry, which hasn’t arrived: the Planacircle Special entered by Walter F. Strader, of Los Angeles, which has no pistons and no cylinders, and the Walsh Special left
