In 2012 I gave to the Romney campaign and within five months I get my taxes audited twice for years 2009 and 2010 by the IRS. They say that my racing is a hobby but they sure didn't think so when I had some winning seasons a few years earlier and had to pay in. Now the DMV is claiming racing is commercial if we are competing for money or have racing logos on our operations. And now in Texas they are requiring inspections for my flat bed trailer, inspections were already required for my enclosed trailer. Yet I understand no tags at all are required for flatbed trailers in Oklahoma. But a bunch of my buddies got busted for not having CDL's there if their rigs used air brakes was the charge. It's hard enough to keep up with things to comply in your own state. Heaven forbid crossing state lines to attend a race.
