    One of our team read somewhere tha there was a 120 inch maximum on the wheelbase for these cars.

    Any idea where that number came from?
    I cannot find any reference to it.

    We are beginning our ch***is build tonight, so this question NEEDS an answer quickly.

    Thanks all!

    That was merely one of the suggestions offered along the way, it wasn't adopted in the rules.

    120" seems to look cool. That's about the only reason it was chosen at random by the first three or four builders. Mine runs straight and true at 120". You may want to try longer or shorter.

    We're building ours 120" because it looks about right and it fits inside the rear of our travel trailer.

    Thanks guys!
    Looks like ours will be in the 120-130 inch range as well.
