Specialized rubber compounds and reinforcing materials are layered, moulded and vulcanized into dragster tires designed to withstand extreme acceleration. Sugar, fats and flavourings are blended into smooth icing; buoyant sections and supporting frames are assembled into floating docks; and continuous steel strips are helically formed and welded into large spiral pipes.
