NICE, do you winch it in or drive it in? Is it possible to get out of the car if you drive it in.

We drive both cars in. The winch takes to long. Because of our trailer length the cars land in either side of the wheel wells. Which allows the doors to open wide enough to get out. On the shorter trailers its dukes if hazard style to get out. Unless you have a drivers side escape door. Which, if I was having one built, would be a no brainier.

Very sweet John. If I was into racing that much I'd def have to look into something that blinged out. I've only seen the track twice this year so I'd be suicidal I had that nice of a trailer and didn't use it. Pretty much how I felt last year with the boat sitting all year.

Yeah he went all out expect it does not have living quarters would have cost a ton more. AC is nice for sleeping.

The lights and the awnings are awesome. I wish I had the lights but I plan on getting 2 awnings. That's the only way to go if you are racing out of it a lot. Some people have out of this world setups. The amount of money sitting parked in the pits is insane.

I don't even want to start that discussion.


Navigating is a mother f'er. Not to mention having a short bed diesel truck with a 26 gallon tank sucks balls. At 200 miles you better start looking for truck stops.

If I don't get a new truck ill have to put a transfer tank in the back.

It seems like I always end up on the hwy dead stopped/crawling for an hour every time I tow- good to always have enough fuel for such occasion-Greatly relieves some of the frustration and the 'I told you we should have stopped for gas' glaring looks from the passenger seat (you know it-she doesnt even have to say it)

And oh- the wasted time finding hotels that will fit the trailer-AND not get pinned in. Got burned last year- aerial map was great, but elevation useless- was an inclinded driveway. I even asked them ahead of time- 'no problem' they said. they got a chewing after I scraped my back underside jack base when got wedge trying.
End up parking in adjacent restaurants alot and eat there, post the receipt on my window. I lock it down good- it isnt going anywhere. Havent gotten a ticket, but if so-just another pay to play item.

Finding a spot at the hotels is awful. If it's possible I try to just get the trailer to the track and lock it down. That has def been my best option.
