I built that chassis in 3 days back in 1991. It won its debut race at Salem with Steve Butler at the wheel.

I have had brand new cars from a reputable chassis manufacturer that would not work no matter what I tried while other identical chassis from the same manufacturer were winning.

The chassis Larson won 3 Oskaloosa races with was 4 years old and had major repairs (pulled straight and significant tubing replaced 3 times.

I don't believe the age or straightness matters as much as some other unknown quality in making a chassis work.
