A typical wheelbase for a vw desertracer,, buggy or bug, just to get an idea of how much longer than a stock vw they are,,

That is based on what class the car is. Off the top of my head the class 11 and 5 cars are stock. Class 9 is 100" and I think the 5 open is 105". I think the class 12 is in the 110-112" area. I am not sure on this but I believe class 10 and 1 are open wheelbase.

You can get the exact number in the SCORE rulebook and these may not be right but should be close. I am just doing this off the top off my head.

BITD has Class 5000 (open) at 107". Class 5100 at Any Stock Production length. SNORE 5/1600 class also states Any Production Length. Stock Production Length examples would be 94" for a 1966 all the way to 99" for a 2003.

1/2 1600, 12, 10 & 1 are all open wheelbase.

My SS 12 is 118" and 2S 12 is 120".

SCORE limits 5 open wheelbase to 105"

On the a-arm baja I'm building (not to be raced) I'm going 110" wheelbase. Would go more, but it's going to be streeted, and I'd like for it to look somewhat normal.
