To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, September 25, 2011, 2:03 PM I agree Bill. Maybe Don will chime in. Possible there were different runs. My track has to be 7-8 years old so maybe something changed. I tried my general digital caliper as well as my dial caliper that reads in 64ths and both were within a half a thousand of the other. Actually with the dial indicator its hard to tell exactly, but the digital breaks it down to .13095 which is pretty cool.
