Man, I am learning a lot on this thread
Here's more details on shot-peening. I had no idea about this one...

(slightly humorous translation to English)
I also found a page explaining the double-valvestem design. As Dexter explained, the design is so that you can bleed normal air out of the top valve while you feed nitrogen to the bottom valve, though how you determine that all of the normal air has been replaced, no one has mentioned. The purpose of using nitrogen is to remove all moisture from the air inside the tire, so that tire pressure does not change inside the tire as the air heats up and cools down during track racing.
