Hello 14ers. I have a dilemma, I am towing Brad's trailer and my 14 down to the WCC on Friday. On Sunday or Monday we need someone to tow the empty trailer up to Lancaster and/or Willow Springs. Can anyone help? $40 in gas money is in it for you, and if the organizers allow for passengers I can also offer to bring you out on the track in this freshly rebuilt BP competition car which Brad and I put together. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Jason |

Yes, 2" ball. I thought Brad said Jenny was heading down there with you, but obviously I'm mistaken. I'll check with her. Thanks. J |

Rules say no passengers allowed unless you are an instructor during a specific run... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) If it is a track only car, why don't you drop it off their first? |

Sorry J, wish I could help but I'm not going (again) this year. As cool as it is to meet peeps and see everyone's cars it just doesn't fit the budget (both time and money).

do what I'm doing...bum a ride (of course I'll help with gas) and pack a bunch of people into the hotel room to save on costs (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Jenny is leaving Friday afternoon so you can still go to your miserable job on Friday (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Where will this empty trailer (enclosed, if I remember it correctlly) be? And there will be a choice of destinations for it? I might be able to help out on Monday. Ron |

Actually he has my flat bed trailer (wood floor..fairly lightweight..I can move it around by hand..kinda)
Have Mueller drive his truck down.. Jason's car is "barely" street legal. He plans to drive it for the event, but someone else (female) will have the tow vehicle (not a girlfriend or wife) Asking her to pull the trailer out to Lancaster is a stretch. She barely agreed to drive the Surburban from Diamond Bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I already have a trailer with me.. cant pull two easily. B |

Where will the trailer be towed from and to where? You drove my green teener but you've never seen my white Suburban (3/4 ton). My trailer plug is a flat-4 ( kinda like a Type IV), will that work? Ron |

Ron, I'm pretty sure he needs the trailer towed from Camerillo to the racetrack...he will be driving the 914 to the track from Camerillo, he will not have his Suburban once he gets to the LA area until Monday evening...or something complicated like that......

Ron,
It has the large connector on it. I *think* I have an adapter with me. If not.. Jason can buy one. Thinking more about it.. my adapter goes from large to the flat4 not from flat4 to large. I do remember you. Nice car. Belonged to you wife. B |

Oh.. DUH. My trailer is wired for BOTH. Should plug in and work. I told Jason that the trailer needs one 1157 bulb. Make damn sure he puts one in it. I dont recall if the wiring is correct for the flat4 connector on the trailer. No truck I borrow or truck I use has the flat4 style.. so I dont know how well it works. Feel free to wire the flat4 however you like.

I hope someone will have the exact location for this trailer when the time comes, it would be nice to know well in advance! This will be a bit of a drive and through a lot of traffic. Ron |

Now that I've caught up with the replies...does that mean I won't be needed? Ron |

I'm driving my m3 to the track event, my truck is not capable of pulling the trailer. I live about 4-5 miles from the hotel in camarillo and you're welcome to leave your trailer there for as long as needed.805-368-5857
