Incorrect... 1999 or older. But that rule actually pertains to engine year rather than model year.
And from what I'm told the rolling 30 exemption and those 8 days the vehicle still needs to return home every day.

This is the problem with the whole deal. Everyone has different interpretations of the rules even the DOT officers but they don't mess around. They would rather hand you a fist full of tickets and put you out of service and let you fight it out in court.

I know this won't pertain to op but fuel is probably the thing that can get a racer in the most trouble!! If your not hazmat compliant fuel must be in no more than 4 dot approved 5 gal containers that are secured. And for the record your fuel cell in NOT dot approved so if you get on the wrong side of a officer they can get you for that.
