Six times a day visitors thrilled at the sight of stunt drivers performing their art on a paved track in the Goodrich pavilion. Demonstrations of the non-skid properties of Goodrich Silvertown tires allowed spectators to ride over wet pavement in a vehicle equipped with these tires.
Many other exhibits displayed the advances and contributions Goodrich had made to the rubber and automotive industries.
