Hi Carl, I never thought about that possibility. It is not something that would happen down here. I have driven to 3 Nationals, and numerous Regionals, with no problem. ( I know Wim, wrong word for you, but for me it is proper usage) Then again that is across State and Provincial lines, which would be a different thing. My whole Province, has less than a million people, so individuals in a trade such as ours, have to travel to other areas of the Province, to make ends meet. However, yes , one should check local regulations. Regards, John M.
