The pro-slot people can be pretty buggy. I ordered a block that was drilled and cut a slot with a hacksaw so you could see the nails and this was OK for my pack (BTW this was in Leesburg, VA just across the road from Ashburn).

Then I made the Citroen that I posted for a friend and he gave us $200. My pack is going to donate the trophies a...

I use Pledge. Don't know if we are any faster but it smells good.

Wd13,
Try getting a wooden yard stick and gluing it to a 4 foot shelf board to test your rail riding. It's what I do. Also are you going thinner than last year? 0.5 oz of wood 0.5 oz wheels and axels and 4 oz of tungston? I like the 5/8th CoM. Good luck.
