Of course you don’t. Take curves at 110? Certainly not! But motors, brakes, axles and tires that withstand such terrific strains on the speedway give you super-safety on the highway. Discoveries made here have saved thousands of lives — perhaps even yours! That’s the real reason for the Indianapolis Speed way. Just think—500 miles here is equal to 50,000 miles of ordinary driving. Tire failure may cost a life! But these drivers know tire construction.That’s why all the winners for 20 consecutive years have used Firestone Tires. The same patented construction features used in these tires are built into Firestone Champion Tires for your car. The Safety-Lock Gum- Dipped Cord body gives greater protection against blowouts. The silent Gear-Grip tread has 3,456 sharp-edged angles for greater protection against skid ding and gives much longer non-skid mileage. For greater safety and economy I use Firestone Champion Tires. You can get them on your new car—or put a set on your present car at no extra cost! CART. EDDIE RICKENBACKER, President, Eastern Air Lines; President, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation.

It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.
