Pomona Bound - CA Towing Tips

Lenny5160 · 11-03-2016, 12:37 PM

I have two friends racing in the Summit runoffs in Pomona. We are coming down with both cars in a pickup/53' trailer. My rig is virtually identical and I've towed a lot of miles, but I'm nervous about CA. I do have a CDL and health card, and will be doing a log book so we shouldn't be completely stuck if trouble arises.

We are looking into the Motorsports Exemption Permit which will help on vehicle length, if we can get it. There are designated major routes for this, and we aren't planning to tour around anyway. We'll enter on 40 from AZ and head straight to the track.

Will we need a fuel tax permit?

What should we do at the scale houses?

Any other tips are appreciated. Thank you!
