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. |

The guy I crew for had an open trailer for many years, towed it with a big SUV. It worked OK. We put spare tires & parts in the back of the SUV and filled up all available space. We brought tools & other stuff in our cars. Years ago, he got a very nice 34 foot enclosed trailer with a big GMC Diesel dually crew cab to pull it. Huge improvement. Very expensive. We are never going back to open trailers. The enclosed trailer gets you out of the rain, out of the sun, keeps the car out of the weather when not in use or being towed. Its a lot of work to load/unload everything but it is so nice having that trailer for a weekend race.
