Did you guys notice that there's no length limit on SR bodies posted in the rules for the Nationals on the Mid America Derby website? Here we limit them to 8.25". Wonder what's going to show up in Omaha? So now I'm looking for a Lambo limo........

It does say "No open wheel cars", isn't the Digger model kit an open wheel car at the front at least?

I'd noticed that the length and scale were pretty well open, which opens it up to a 1/24 scale Plymouth Superbird which has a massive 7-1/8" NTRA (Nose to Rear Axle).

All the same, I think that the Digger Cudas should definitely not be a part of the Slammers race.

The National's rule have little tweaks in them that make them confusing. Hopefully Greg or John will chime in.

I received a reply to my email from Greg:
"That is correct in regards to the Street Slammer ... there is not a length limit... and in regards to the BASICS those are the correct measurements... see you soon

Truly
Greg "

So, no length limit as long as the body meets the other listed requirements and you can build your Basics entry as much as 2 3/4" wide.

And if Diggers are allowed, then there's even *less* impetus for me to submit an SR.
