I was going to make a comment about it myself, I've never had a trailer tire that lasted that long.

That trailer tire ran three 500 lap races and still good for trailer use.

Looks like a new Hoosier with 25 or 30 laps on it.

No cage, open trailer with Jerry cans for fuel, no power steering, skinny tires, and that may be before the race instead of after, raced last night and no help of time to wash the car. Look at the "windscreen". Reminds me of the way Kevin Olson wrote about the "real racers". When is the last time you saw a car at the races that didn't come out of a closed trailer? Full face helmets had not been invented yet! Thank God for Bill Simpson and all the other people that dramatically improved availability of safety equipment. But that picture is of a REAL RACER going to race it with the tires that are on it. Probably same stagger and pressures for every race. Just race the wheels off of it.
