I have to disagree with you on this. According to CAN spec IS0 11898:1993(E) Table 15, the maximum cable distance for 1Mbit/second is 40 Meters not 20 feet.

We have also tested at distances much greater than 20 feet without issue using 120 Ohm's of termination on each end of the BUS.

FYI a termination resistor of 100 ohms is outside of the spec. Teams using 120 ohms resistors should have no issues related to signal reflection.
From the getting started guide:

Total Cable Length
(maximum)
20 ft / 6.1m Tip: Start with this length of bulk cable and cut all
segments from it to ensure compliance.

Termination Resistance 100 At each end of the network.

Just quoting specs.
