Curious what others are using for their race car trailer.
My tracks are all within one days drive so an open trailer is fine - and preferred. It looks to me like a 6 x 12 is plenty. I need it to be able to go through a standard 9' wide garage door and weigh less than 1800ish pounds. My car is capable of pulling 5k #'s.
Aluminum, steel tandem, single axle? Those sorts of questions.
For this season I can use a tow dolly for our local track (8 miles away) and a U-haul for out of town, but eventually that'll get tiresome.
Thx.

This is my trailer that I purchased here years ago (the one with the bumblebee). I think it is about as small as you can go. It was made by a local 914 racer years ago before I purchased it. I could barely feel it behind the Expedition when towing. The bummer was that the trailers fenders prevent you from opening the door once pulled on the trailer if you are inside you have to climb out the window and roll window as much as you can from outside. It does have an electric winch on it so it can be pulled on the trailer and strapped without opening the doors.

Wow, that is compact. My car has no roof so getting in wouldn't be any harder than usual. Food for thought.
