Comments: Great to see that not only did Dick Quallio's #4 survive the 80's and 90's, but so did the drag tires!

11/16/05 Bob Stives These tires worked great on a soggy track, but they were useless on a hard, dry surface. In the mid-70's, East Windsor was usually a swamp when you first drove up. Mid-way through the night the track was dried out. The result was you had to have two sets of tires to be competitive. You needed the Drag 500's for the heat race and harder compound, lowerprofile tries for the feature. You also had to change rear axle gears when you changed tires. All this added to the cost of racing.
