Hey, what's an extra 18' over legal amongst friends. The PUCO officers here in Ohio are known for their kindness and understanding. lol.

The sideskirts on my truck are at 14" to match the trailer we tow, and never came close to dragging anything and I do get in to a few odd places at fairgrounds and such. Not nearly as long a wheelbase as you of course, but if you are going to racetracks, truck stops etc, in other words places designed for big rigs, you are not going to have any problems with ground clearance. I'm assuming you have the common sense to not blindly drive an 83' rig into places you oughtn't be trying to drive it in the first place. Most of the places you could get into trouble like steep driveway approaches and the like are places that truck is to big to squeeze into in the first place. If anything I'd worry more about the back of the truck and maybe angle everything up a bit behind the axles. That is pretty common on the big TC's.
