Drag Racing Tires Mugs
Description: Sensing a distinct need for high-performance street and strip tires during the Golden Era of muscle cars, Formula Tires was founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. To fill that need, Formula designed their Formula 1 Super Stock line, creating an instant hit that gave day two muscle cars the drag racing look with bold white sidewall lettering and a tight tread pattern that gave a racing slick appearance. Of course, these tires weren’t just about good looks – they were built to perform as well, and hooked up exceptionally well on the strip, but also handled great when cruising the boulevard.
Description: Drag race starting times by the flagman in the early days were not uniformly accurate, so a new timing system could hopefully be developed to correct the problems and ensure a fair race. As the story goes, Chrondek Corporation founder Oilver Riley was approached in 1962 with an idea of a step-light countdown system. LaVerne, California-based Chrondek was already working on portable timing systems before this proposal, and began refocusing their efforts to include what is now known as the standard Christmas Tree, which was debuted by Chrondek at the 1963 U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Description: Bill Casler owned Casler Tire Service in Ontario, California where he was a pioneer in creating street legal racing tires by way of custom recaps. These tires would later become known as cheater slicks or more precisely, Casler Cheater Slicks. His signature molds would go on to be THE tires to run in the popular Super Stock racing circuits as well as with hardcore hot rodders and street racers. This design is an homage to Casler's original low-fi logo and a perfect throwback for any motorsports aficionado that knows their stuff. Race on!
