Interesting possibility.  Wonder which way one would need to rotate the boat
to make her turn better to the left and decrease lap times on a closed oval
race course.  In addition to the NASCAR Truck Series, we could have a NASCAR
TRUCK plus A30 series; something for the A30 racers to do in July and
August.

I rotated the body plan 30 degrees and the effective beam was down to
just a little over 8 feet.

Maybe a little creative blocking could keep you under the limits :-)

Hello all,

Has anyone on the list ever been checked by the D.O.T while hauling 
their A-30 and asked for a permit?

Does the D.O.T. have data which gives them the exact beam  of the boat 
or do they actually try to put the tape on it.

As I am sure you all know this boat actually only violates the required 
beam for a very small point about mid ship. It would be a bit tricky to 
actually get it measured accurately.........maybe a couple of plum bobs 
dropped from the mid beam and measure between them.

I realize the boat is actually 8'-9" but the beam on my documentation it

is stated as 8.6 that could be construed as 8'-6" by say myself I guess 
maybe.

The permits are not all that expensive but they do create  quite a bit 
of hassle.They lock you in to a time frame and a particular route.

Anyway, I was just wondering what others have done.......... or might 
would consider doing.

-mostly a lurker, but love this list,

-tom s
