The lowest volume enclosed trailer teams will fall in line numerically behind the longest open trailer teams leaving the teams with the largest volume enclosed rigs to be assigned the highest trailer numbers. All ties will be broken by who pulled in the pit gate first. Standard Stanley tape measures shall be used and the race track will decide how precise the measurements will be based on whether the track help can read the little lines or just stick to the big ones with the numbers by them.

You have a good idea, but the tie breaker system needs some work. Tie breakers should go to the oldest tow vehicle. Extra points should be given if the front fenders are not the same color as the rest of the vehicle. Extra points should also be given if any of the muffler system drags on the ground. Finally, it the tow rig is a station wagon or a converted yellow dog bus, the partipant is automatically given a provisional for the A-main.
