No hard feelings intended. I simply spoke the truth. I'm just saying that if you have not done something...how do you know the best/worst/intelligent way? I did not "pick on" your thread. You made most of the comments I wanted to reply to. It would not have made a difference who posted it, if I would have made a comment like that on a subject that I did not know about, I would expect the same. After all, this is a discussion board. To whoever started this thread...hope there has been enough info for you...if not let us know.

I've done it both ways, go with the bat method, it works like a champ. I first found out about this at the roundy round track when some of the good ol' boys got a little close, seems all of them taxi-cab racers keep a bat in the trailer, for rolling the fender away from the tire, and for the fight after the race!
