Sorry Chris:

I don't think any of us Canadian's are going to make it to WV.

Claude Regnier is holding a Canadian Slalom Gathering in Ottawa in two weeks, so limited to schedule.

You and the East Coast guys should try to come up.

Hope you are doing well.

Rob

I knew you were going to say that, Chris. :smile: I had to hurry and get my response in there before you did.

RU(13) going to the W.Va. race? Civ, how about you? Any other Canadians?

Thanks for the tip, I dont plan on drilling it unless I know for sure it will be done right....I think I need to go visit my old high school shop teacher...I think he still works there. He basically lets my use it whenever I want. Helps to be a eager student sometimes. thanks for the speedy reply.

Mike Civ,
I e-mailed Chicken with the exact same question several weeks ago. Here is his response:

"Jonathan,
You can drill another set it shouldn't weaken the deck I've had some with 3 set's of rear truck holes and 2 set's in the front with no problems.
Chicken"

As you can imagine, you will want to do them STRAIGHT. Use a drill press if you can. "Measure twice, drill once"--that sort of thing. It's very discouraging, not to mention UGLY, if you mess up the holes on a custom-made deck.

I have the 32" hybrid and I was wondering if the front truck could be redrilled back and inch or so. I just want some more versatility and I cant wait till the spring to by the ts pistol. I would like to try a sub 20" wheelbase on this baby. Any thoughts? Chicken? these are your deck, your the expert. Thanks all.
