We have the same problem in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and South Dakota. They don't like motor homes pulling trailers that are over 65 feet long. I know of two late model dirt track guys that got tickets, one in Iowa and one in South Dakota. I got a ticket earlier this year in Nebraska on the way to Great Bend KS for the divisional. That cost me $290.00. The officer told us that we needed to contact the racing organizations to see if they would get something passed in the legislatures to help with the problem. When I talked to the late model guys, I said they should get ahold of NASCAR and see if they could help out. They didn't think NASCAR would help. Has anyone approached NHRA to see if they can help us out?

I have a CDL but the problem is that my motor home and trailer would have to be registered as a truck tractor and pro-rated to run in all the states. It would then mean that no one would be able to assist in the driving unless they also had a CDL. I would have to pull through scales, have a log book, physical card and have an IFTA sticker for fuel.

I'm not in this as a business, this is recreational.
