Go to page 17 and it gives you hopups. You need TB03 steering set. Not TA05. And you need 46mm bones. Not 48mm or 44mm.
As for Debbies, I would like to go this winter as well. Once carpet season starts here at Rosewood, it'll be all oval. So since I don't race oval, I'll need somewhere to go. Every other week sounds perfect especially with my school schedule. It's a 3 hour drive one way for me as well. But it's no biggie. Been doing that for years. Lemme know when you start heading up.
