Of automobiles and equipment" said Lee
Huff, manager Of the Omaha branch of the
Nebraska Buick company. This Is partlc
ularly so with regard to the tires used, as
that is the part Of the machine that
subjected to the greatest strain. The light
ming speed causes the tires to melt il
many instances and the brick track
the Indianapolis speedway would brin
about conditions not exactly favorable.
The fact that eight out of ten winnin
cars were equipped with Michelin tir,
is abundant proof that they can "stanO
up under the most trying circumstances.
Practically all Of the trouble In these big
races is caused by poor or defective tires
and the car that wins must have the best
footing" in the world. The record made
by Michelin tires In this, the greatest Of
all motor racing events, has never been
surpassed to my knowledge"
George Vogelsong, who has been assist
ant manager OF the Omaha branch OF the
