Default Moved My Hitch Forward

Got bored today sitting at the fire house on duty (read REAL slow)

So I decided I would go ahead and move the hitch on the pullng truck forward. Got it forward about 6"... I forgot how much I LOVE drilling holes in frames...

Got plenty of room... all i have to do is keep it behind the tail gate. the rules say it has to be the rear most point (not including sled stops) or a certian distance from the axle. Thw tail gate is back from the axle farther then the distance so all I have to worry about is it being the rear most point... Besides... What rules?

Read over the other thread in this section about rules and see what you think? These are the ones that I'm gonna try and get temple to use next year to make things fair.
