Iam a DOT inspector in the state of Texas. You dont have to have a DOT for anything under 26000#s. But if they consider your racing a business, such you are trying to make money, the number changes to 10000#s and above. These numbers are based on the GVW#s on your tow rig and trailer. Now you can reregrister your trailer for a lower weight to try to get under this weight, but dont be caught over weight. I think you would have to tow with a S-10 pickup and a open trailer to meet this weight.
