So we are prepping for the ChumpCar 12-hour at VIR next weekend. Well, the guys are prepping the car. My task was trailer. So Jim and I bought a trailer. Gatormade 16-foot lowboy, full-deck, so I can also use it for utility stuff and sell my smaller utility trailer. Once that's done I'll buy out part of Jim's share of this one and it will be "mine" with a perpetual "open usage" by Jim and the guys for races I don't go to.
I'm not going to trailer the rallycross car for the moment, but if I go to some farther events like Southeast regionals, I probably will.
Anyhow, here it is. Got it for around $1800, it's a 2010 model with electric brakes, breakaway kit, and a little storage box (not pictured). Should do nicely. Since I don't much want to use the stake pockets for tiedowns I'm installing some big D-rings from tractor supply. Bolted in for the moment but we'll weld them as well. They're set up for angles that shoudl be best for attaching the straps to the e30s. I'll also install a big eye-bolt at either end to run safety chains in addition to the ratchet straps. Can never be too safe when towing!
