How do you tie down your camaro on the trailer? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So far my car wont even get on my trailer. The front end will hit the ramps so I need to get some long 2X12' to give it a more gradual incline. After that the car is so low to the ground I am not sure where to attach the straps. I have a wood floor full size open trailer... The type that has the metal loops on the out side. So I will have to go to them. I am thinking I would hook to the a arms (control arms or what ever they are called) in the front and back.

I want to go drag racing and want peace of mind knowing I can get home even if I break something.

I know others that do the A arms also... I like to go just a bit further back (if you can) to the cross member in the center. It's way more solid and a little more piece of mind IMO.

Duct tape does the job for everything that and hose clamps.

I have large tie downs secured to the wood floor of my trailer just in front and behind the tires. For the front, I hook the end to the strap to the tie down behind the front tire and run the strap over the tire and through the tie down in front of the tire. I secure the ratchet end to the trailer and tighten the ratchet so it squeezes down on the tire. This allows the suspension to still work while on the trailer.

I do the same on the back, just in reverse.

Hope this helps.
