If DOT officers are becoming a problem for racers, maybe they should start contacting their congressmen. If DOT clarifies things, you're not going to have a voice in the solution and it's not likely to be in your favor.
Many years ago I used to run a Bulletin Board System (BBS). The telephone company started sending out notices that they were going to switch us over to business rates because they considered us a commercial venture. Phone company = monopoly = SOL, right? At least least until 300 sysops contacted the public utility commision and voiced our complaints. In the end we worked out a compromise that kept most of us (99%) in the hobby group. And a lot of that came from educating people outside our hobby just what it was that we were doing.
I have a feeling that RVers are going to have to do the same thing. We don't want to have to get CDLs to pull 5ers or drive conversions and DMV regulations need clarified in several states.
