Hey Guys, I think I will add $.04 cents this time. I have this plastic milk case with this useless information in it, So I guess it has to go somewhere. A couple friends of mind were talking about this at lunch again today. Years ago on the Road Trucks we ran 90% of them had liftable tag axles on the Power unit & the trailer. We were able to adjust the weight anywhere we needed it if there was a problem at the States Weigh stations. The air valve controls and gauges were in the stylish very well appointed sheet metal cab with a pasta bowl of 3/8" & 1/4" copper tubing running everywhere. I am not old (51) but was pushing those trucks up & down the East Coast at 16 yrs old. AhAhAh the Memories of No Powersteering,NO
Air Conditioning,Very comfortable climate control about Feb.it would start to cool down in the cab,But come March it was hot then hell.And the power we had was the Greatest NA220
hp Cummins,(No-Turbo) The always ready and wet 318 Detroit V8 that could see hills two miles down the road, And those fine crafted transmissions such as the Plex family.Dup,Tri and oldest brother Quadra. Not to forget old Brownie and his siblings. But that was then and this is now. You can't manual adjust anything today. My Perfect Toter would have a complete air panel to adjust the large air bags located everywhere I could stick them. And I don't want to leave out the entertainment centers we had.But thats another story. Marc

....I remember those old trucks form the 70's namely a White "widow maker"....also known as a White 9000....damn truck nearly killed me driving for 6 months.....so I decided to go back to college and get my doctorate......geofkaye

I know both of these trucks. They race in the same series I do. The yellow one with the trailer is 102' long and the black is 98'

Wick - is the picture in your linked photos entitled 2003 Show Hauler which shows the MH hauling a trailer what you describe as 83' long, I know depth perception is hard in a picture but it doesn't look at long as it sounds

The one titled 2003 is the older shorter unit. With my trailer and the 2006 Showhauler I am over 83ft.

The yellow Rig belongs to Jack Barfield and is well over 100 feet long in total length. It is the Team Skull transport and the team owner is Tim Tindle I believe. He also has a number of cars running in NHRA in addition to the tree that they have for ORSCA. Mike Ashley drives one of Tim's Funny cars and Pro Mods. The black Rig is Ken Rainwaters. There is also a White one that is about the same size that belongs to Jeff Cooner. All of these guys race in our ORSCA organization.

They are all used for the most part in the South Eastern part of the country. We race in GA, AL, MS, TN, and possibly some events in other areas but for the most part they are all run on this side of the country. None have had any problems with the DOT at all so far.
