Tire guide, probably just for posterity

If these were so good, how'd they go out of business?

Speedfest race cars had tires changed at the portable tire shop Hoosier had in the paddock

I just watched a cool show on HD Theater about tire repairs for the enormous earth movers, I learned retreading is about 60% the cost of new tires

the shop that was featured on the show is http://www.rdhtire.com/ in Cleveland

Grand National Roadser show coverage continues with the Boss custom Mustang with huge wheels

Here is the photo gallery of it at Sema http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/boss-stang-looks-real-cool-with.html

a few great images

the photographer Dorothea Lange, famous for excellent photos that humanized the tragic consequences of the Great Depression and profoundly influenced the development of documentary photography during the great depression. She was one of several photographers that were working for a government agency, the Farm Security Administration, that wanted the state of the people to be captured for historical perspective. Jack Delano was another, and they were both incredibly good photographers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothea_Lange

Tire displays at the South hall... not a lot to see there compared to the main hall, but still worth the walk

ridiculous use of sexy models to sell rims, mufflers, and car parts.
