Shining Light Tribology is Now For Sale.

Post by murphken »

Looking to sell all my high quality tooling, lathes jigs and remaining inventory, hat is not listed on Ebay. I can show you how to cut high quality wheels and axles that some of the best quality products in the industry.
I have one racer interested right now. If you are interested let me know.
I have four lathes and some killer tooling and modifications.
Some of you remember me. I started out racing with that knucklehead Sporty and we did all our mischief on Derby Talk.
After I went on my own and raced through Steve and Warrens track. I quit racing after trying to set up a race for Warren.
I started cutting wheels and axles for and have been doing it for a long time. I have a ton of repeat customers and the purchaser can sell the Wheels and axles using the SLT Logo. I just ask that you make a quality product to the kids and dads.
I live in Harrisburg and I am making candy. I will retire soon and focus on high end tube and descrete amps.

Randy,
Sorry I missed you on your reply. Send me a message on how to get in contact with you and I can tell you what you need.

All,
SLT has been sold to Kevin at fastcars27. Kevin will be selling "SLT" Wheels. Kevin raced pros at WIRL before I raced at PWDR. I have trained Kevin on how to cut fast PWD Wheels. He has my inventory. In short, you need fast wheels, just contact Kevin and he can help you "Own the Race Track".

It has been a good ride. I do miss racing Pros. After Pro Racing, I got into selling my wheels focusing on selling the highest quality wheels. I will not miss cutting and polishing axles, with no sleep, for three months in a year.

Things have changed over the years. Most notably, Chinese fake axles. I could not compete against vendors selling these axles, with wheels, at under $20. In addition, many Scout Parents do not have the tools to make a fast PWD Car. It is a complex situation. I hope that Scouts and PWD will continue to exist in this new environment with so many competing things to do when you are growing up.

For some of us grown-ups, racing "Little Wooden Cars" sure is fun! You all get it. It is in our blood. I am still working in the confectionery industry. I am getting older but my technical memory is as good as it gets so I am still working. I am still involved in sales of high-end audio. SLT is now with Kevin. "Shining Light" is my name for my audio sales.
Later,
Murph
