Met a True Gentleman

I drove down to Millboro. Va. Saturday morning and delivered the
first load of "traction devices" to Mike T. that he will soon be
marketing.
For those of you who know him, this will just act to confirm what
you already know, but "What a genuinely great guy".
I was able to spend about 4 hours with him and his significent
other, and it was well worth the drive.
Those of you that don't know him should.
Thanks Mike .

Marc

I'm not suprised at all...

His customer service skills, knowledge of the Lightnings and overall good nature are certainly evident.

He's not much to look at, but he's a heck of a good businessman....

Agreed, Mike is a great guy.

By the way, I have already called to get mine ordered.

I believe you will be very happy with it. Just remember that you
will have to "experiment" with the settings. It took me for
what seemed like forever to find the right setting.
Enjoy, and please let me know what you think.

I am sort of waiting on Mike to release it formally, as this is
good business.
However, since you asked, I guess it will be okay. But please
get all the particulars such as price, availability, and etc, from
Mike.
We have a pinion snubber on the market built exclusivley for
the Lightning application.
It has been throughly tested and has proven to provide the
results that it was designed for.
I have had one on my truck since the middle of last summer and
have "abused" it to check its durability.
After I was able to find the proper setting, which is widely
adjustable, my truck actually lifts when leaving the line and
remains there through the traps, thus transfering the torque
to the tires, not loading the frame.
Please, contact Mike for any further information.

Marc

Lift from one end of the track to the other, WOW. Want one, need one. Can't wait for it to be marketed. Is there a way to contact Mike, phone, online, mail, etc?

If this works out, I won't have to install some large bulky traction bars.
