Don't worry about asking quetions that is what these forums are all about. I'm not sure if you noticed that I edited my last previous post. I added that you could drill another set of holes to get a shorter wheelbase.

Your Chill deck will probably be OK for the St. Louis race. We usually don't set real tight course. It also may be possible to drill another set holes for a shorter wheelbase on your Chill deck.

St. Louis is just about a 8 hour drive & there is a contest THIS weekend. We would be glad to have you attend. Just head up Hwy 55 and don't stop untill you see the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales. Then ask for directions.
