Subj.: Chrys '1 - Goodyear Joint Test Operations.

Dear Ed,

This memo is to confirm and record our phone conversation of
approximately two weeks past regarding combined Chrysler -
Goodyear test operations at Daytona Beach, Fla. and Ontario,
California Speedways.
The mutual benefit is obvious; a reduced cost test for both
parties.

Our proposal to Goodyear is that Chrysler Engineering will
provide a race car (1970 Plymouth, Superbird), race engines
and a car service crew for Goodyear tire test experiments at
the aforementioned tracks. In exchange for Goodyear’s use
of these materials and services; Chrysler will expect to
obtain data as recorded with the instrumented Superbird during
the course of the tire experiment and that two (2) days maximum
will be afforded at the completion of tire test for car part
comparison checks to be made by Chrysler personnel.

Goodyear will be responsible for driver travel, subsistence,
and driving salary expenses, and for track rental payments.

Driver(s) commissions must be agreeable to both parties. No
discussion ensued concerning drivers for the Ontario test.
However, it was understood that either Baker or Glotzbach
would be satisfactory for the Daytona test.

Confirmed test dates are to be established. Both group
are currently working toward ■ Daytona engagement during th
second week of September 1970 and Ontario during the second
week of November 1970.
