    The postwar years were times of austerity almost everywhere. I've heard the quality of "pool" gas available at the time was low. If you usually get to 4,500 rpm on the flats without pinging, and someone slips another 10-20 octane points into the tank, this might conceivably happen.

    Who knew that when I got out of L.A. the smog free air would allow for so much better fuel combustion that I would break the speed limit?

    Oh, and these re-treads made the tyre that much taller, I didn't realise I was going so fast officer!!
