Hello everyone. If my memory serves me correct (1 was a young school kid when 1 was in awe of EJ and the Widow Maker) – but I think Firestone were providing a warranty with their car tires and EJ was responsible for Firestone withdrawing the warranty – HA – not sure if a single car tire lasted a meeting on the back of the Widow Maker – but it was a lot shorter than the Firestone warranty and EJ would supposedly claim new tires under warranty. Does anybody know if that was “close to the truth” ? I can also remember a photo of a track official with a shovel and he was scooping blobs of smoldering rubber from the track – HA – the smoldering blobs were left after a run by EJ on the Widow Maker – no doubt which was due a new Firestone tyre under warranty replacement. I am not sure where it was – but I think EJ toured here in Australia many years ago with the Widow Maker.
