Title: to buggy owners
Post by: red snapper on November 12, 2010, 08:15:20 AM: Just a quick question. On a dune buggy with a shortened pan. What is the wheelbase? From the centre of the front wheel to the rear axle nut. The reason why Im asking is because NHRA still wont let my Fiat race.
Thanks,Brian.
