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. |

I've been thinking about this lately too as I have a ~23 yr old steel Carson twin axle open rig that needs tires & rehab - has been sitting stored/unused since 2018. It worked out really well for me but definitely is heavy and ugly as open trailers go. It looks like trailer tires went WAY up (just like car tires) and I don't really know the condition of its brakes and suspension. My current plan if/when I ease back into track stuff is a U-haul but if I ever get to be a 'regular' again I would love an enclosed rig.
On a separate note my old beater workhorse F150 needs replacing soon too. Torn re going with an HD truck or another F150 but I'm inclined to go bigger. |
