Absolutely on the races...installing new bearings on old races is strictly verboten...

A drift will do fine, make sure they are of good quality and have a nice pronounced edge.

be careful who's bearings you use...many are made in Mexico/Brazil these days.. If you can try to get your hands on some Japanese Timken's...I have had very good luck w/ them over the past few years.
