So, this is a long story, so get yourself a refreshment, your reading glasses, and sit back for a long boring story.

There is really four chapters to this story
1) Tire failure
2) Noticing a problem with an axle on the trailer holding the dragster right before the third NDRL race of the season at Gateway Motorsports Park (a two day trip there and another two day trip back).
3) Identifying and purchasing the correct Torflex Dexter axle
4) Installing the new axles on the Red Trailer

Tire failure. This starts back one year ago when we were returning from the race at Bowling Green and we had three Carlise trailer tries fail on the return trip home. We purchased five new SuperCargo E Load range tires from Camping world in Hamburg NY, at a price of $977.13. On the way from the NDRL race at Memphis to the NHRA HRR in Bowling Green, we had one of those tires (less than a year old) come apart while on the highway. While in Bowling Green, we tried to find someone to warranty the tire. No one would. There is a Camping World there and they told me I had to return the tire to the Camping World in Hamburg NY (500 miles away). Before leaving Bowling green, I purchased 5 new Carlise tires, as I did not trust the remaining Super Cargo tires (The Carlise tires are of a new design which is supposed to eliminate the past problems). This happened back on June 17. It is now September 22 and we are still fighting with Sutong over the warranty on these tires. We have the original receipt, the trailer only requires D load range tires, the trailer is not overloaded (1440 front
