Meh, I'm not too worried about it.

An awful lot of guys use small trailers to haul tires and tools to the track. For most working stiffs, maintaining a 1 ton pickup and a car trailer as accessories to a fun car just isn't feasible.

Good thoughts!

The plywood on the outside is one way to prevent it from racking. I've seen it done that way and it works. I used 2x12's uprights placed for-aft in between (and screwed to) the...
