I have sent a message to Lance Martz , who has been on the DML and has a
bitchin' Dakota :) asking him if he may be interested in the revised tow
rating info for the magazines .
For any of you that know Lance , he puts together some really good columns
in Truckin' , and was also promoted to Editor of Mini Truckin' Magazine a
couple of months ago .
He is an honest and straight forward kind of guyt , and he takes a good
view on things .
Anyway ,I am not posting his e-mail address here because I am quite sure he
is a more than busy being the head honcho at Mini Truckin' , but I just
wanted everyone that is concerned about this issue that this may help us
bring this issue to the for-front of the media and put some pressure on DC
if it is picked up by any of the magazines .
