This is for you guys who pull your "racecars" or "showcars" to events with "prizes". I highly suggest that you seriously take a look and read this article. There is really no way for me to verify the validity of his claims, but its worth looking into before its to late.

I am a Trooper that does Commercial Vehicle Enforcement and the Law is the same nationwide. Just like the article says if you make money and you are driving a Vehicle over 10,000# GVWR then it is concidered a Commercial Vehicle and you are required to comply with all laws that an 18 wheeler driver has to, except having a CDL (unless the single vehicle or combination is over 26,000#)

If it is a Hobby and you don't get paid then you are not driving a commercial vehicle.
