TRACY MAKES TIRE
TEST OF INTEREST
Racing Driver Preparing for Cobe
Race by Looking to the Stay
ing Qualities of Tires
and Rims

Joe Tracy, automobile engineer, de-
signer and racing driver, made eight
laps of the 1908 Vanderbilt race course
last Sunday in a 90-horsepower ma
chine, maintaining an average speed of
60 miles an hour and reaching a maxi
mum speed on the motor parkway of so
miles an hour His work was prepara-
tory to the Cobe trophy races of the
Chicago Automobile club in June. 1t
was tires and rims that Tracy was
proving out. however, and not the car.
A new demountable rim developed by
the Diamond Rubber company, and the
Diamond grip tire for racing and anti
skidding work generally were put
through the mill of every test that
Tracy's experience could suggest, even
to running one tire purposely fiat for

At o'clock last night some 300 of the

associates, together with Jorge num-

ten miles at 60 miles an hour The tire
casing was not materially injured and
the rim was not affected. In the entire
eight laps no change of tires was neces-
sary. On the entire set not more than
a score of the steel studs were loosened.
The demountable rims were also tried
the car being brought to a halt while
at full speed. 1t took just 80 seconds to
take off tire and rim complete and
place fresh ones on the wheel. No tool
of any kind is necessary with this rim,
and Tracy pronounced it the fastest he
had ever seen.
The net result of the trials will be to
make the Diamond tire concern more
active factor than ever in the large 1909
racing events beginning with the CODE
trophy stock classics race, for which a
considerable number of entrants have
reserved Diamond equipment.

advent in the local field was announced
last week, these new quarters being
located at the corner of Twelfth and

touring through Central oregon, stop
ping for visits at Lake View and
Burns, Ore. From here Mr.. and Mrs.
McCune travel eastward to Weiser,
Idaho which is their former home.
Considerable time will be spent around
this section of Idaho. The return trip
has not fully been planned, although
the parties have in mind returning via
Seattle and visit the exposition:
Mr.. McCune is a good, careful driver,
understands his Tourist car perfectly,
while Mrs. McCune has proved on past
trips to have the endurance to make
up the qualifications of good auto
mobile traveller, so the trip is looked
forward to by both as an enjoyable
