Anyone towing a "race car" into Nevada read this
IMMEDIATELY GOES INTO EFFECT - Anyone towing a "race car" to Parahump, or Vegas, or thru the state of Nevada for that matter this is a heads up - took this from one of the 1320 forums im on
For anyone towing to Las Vegas be advised that the Nevada DOT has changed the permit requirements.
To confirm this go to the Nevada DOT web site.
Any truck/motor home / trailer combination weighing more than 10,001 pounds must purchase a travel permit IN ADVANCE of entering the State of Nevada. The old 25,001 weight limit NO LONGER APPLIES.
In July of 2009 AB 372 passed changing the permit requirements. The new Law is in effect right NOW!
The cost of a permit from the California / Nevada border to the Las Vegas Race Track is about $39.00 (one way and only good for one day). The return permit is ANOTHER $39.00. These permits MUST be obtained in advance, you can not get them once you have entered the State. You must contact the Nevada DOT to pay for these permits.
The violation Fines are:
1st Offense - $500
2nd Offense - $1000
3rd Offense - $1500
Permits are required for any trailer combination that weights more than 10,001 pounds and is hauling a vehicle that has the "Potential" to earn income, whether you actually win money or not. Classic car transporters are exempt, furnature hauling is exempt, horse trailers are exempt but NOT Race Cars.

So when will Hondas become classic cars???
So did all the cars that got towed to SEMA have to do this?
What about any cars that go across the Barret Jackson auction block when they do it in Vegas?

But you know... 10k lbs with trailer, tow vehicle, and race vehicle is not always so easy to make. For example, if I were to tow my WRX on the 2 axle trailer with the Avalanche, it still doesn't come out to 10k lbs.
WRX is 3400
Trailer is 800
Avalanche is 5400
It still only comes out to 9600 lbs which leaves me another 400 lbs of gear:
Wheel/ Tire set is 160
Tool set is 200
9960 lbs... how many Honda's would get towed with that big of a truck? How many Honda's weight that much?
