Frame Measurements, Modifieds & Midwest Modifieds

Shown are the legal dimensions for the 1968 to 1972 Chevelle stub/frame. If your frame does not meet these measurements, please consult your chassis builder.

Officials of WISSOTA, USRA, and USMTS have produced a video tutorial which will help drivers, chassis builders and tech officials properly measure race car frames to ensure they meet 2015 rules and beyond. The following video helps to explain how Modified and Midwest Modified frames will be measured to ensure they comply with WISSOTA rules.
