Whither the Laramie Equalizer?
Saturday, April 26th, 2008Something strange is afoot. Unless I headed too many soccer balls, a common type of tire on muscle cars in my youth was the Laramie Equalizer. It stands out in my mind with Tiger Paw as everyday rubber wherever gawkable vehicles sat still.
And yet…. the interent, source of more useful and useless information than any other database in history, has nothing. Nothing. I’ve tried a few spellings of Laramie and a couple of Equalizer. Zip. Zero. No hits.
Did my undergrad years at Madison exact too heavy a toll?
Does anyone out there remember Laramie Equalizers? What spelling error am I making? What planet am I now on?
One response to "Whither the Laramie Equalizer?"
Yes, I recall them… usually spinning in place and funneling smoke from the rear end of a torino or something. Have you seen the Laramie website? No mention of Equalizers… but I noticed Laramie was founded 30 yrs ago in eastern PA… that would be about the time we turned our attention from bigwheels to hotrods… possibly we were unwittingly part of some secret malvern tire test facility. Gotta run… black helicopters found me.
