HurstвЂ™s inspiration for the Lightning Rods was the Lenco transmission (above) used in drag racing in those years, notably in the NHRA Pro Stock category. This gadget employed three shift levers to accomplish everything that a single lever could do. Take the Hurst Lightning Rods, an aftermarket performance shifter marketed in the 1980s.
