Shelby America Inc Hauler ready to deliver 4 new 1966 Shelby GT 350 and a shot of the Cobra Race Team Hauler

 

Here's a pic of the Tasca Ford trailer and hauler that Bill Lawton and John Healy drove to Pomona in 1965 in which they won with first time out with in the H+M built 427 sohc Mustang. Today NHRA funny car driver Bob Tasca III Quick -Lane trailer is to long and illegal in the state of Calif. As most of you are aware, California Highway Patrol (CHP) has indicated they will actively be enforcing the maximum 53’ trailer law. The problem first surfaced when Bob Tasca’s transporter was cited in route from Sonoma to Seattle. At that time it was believed that an over-length permit could be obtained through Caltrans (California Department of Transportation). On September 28, Bob informed us of the following – “Our permit was rejected in writing and I was told that under no circumstance will they allow a 56 foot trailer into CA. They also made it clear to me that there is no permit available. The head of the DOT was very nice to me but made it clear that the Motorsports law would have to be amended. Since the NASCAR community uses 53 foot trailers they are unaffected. He told me that a trailer caught will be impounded at the scales and have to be loaded on a low boy trailer and truck out of the state.” Wow how times have changed
