Good morning to all,
I believe that Jere Stahl also was an advocate of that as well. If I'm not mistaken when Stahl & Associates was in business, Bill Jenkins was a silent partner. If that would be true, then those two minds along with many years of racing experience combined put out the specialty items they used to sell. Hot Honing was also a favorite topic to discuss with Jere.
They both came form the same "neck of the woods" !
