    Used to paint stripes on the tires so the drivers could see them turning.

    Paint big wide stripes on the tires then tell people you need to tell when your tires are turning on the wheels when you go to the drag races

    I guess I was putting too much thought into it. I thought for sure they were more than just Rookie Wheel Rotater Confirmers. Silly me, here I was thinking this job couldn't be dumbed down more than it was already.

    One day i followed skid marks from the freeway all the way to my yard. A few minutes later the driver(at least it was an O/O)called to say he just blew two tires.
