Jack, et al: This would work well too. My lack of inclusion of the contact-tow in my response to Jackie's questions, did not mean I do not favour this method. I just didn't mention it as was suggesting some alternative to it. I'm trying to piece together an article on towing for SK, but in order to submit to them things that have been written about before, one needs to offer something very substantial. I hope to do some towing clinics this year, so as to assertain which of these tows are most effective, and if there are any other creative solutions. Thanks for your post-reply.
