[TrakCar]

I was watching Nascar the other day and started thinking about the fancy pit boxes all the teams have. I've been tossing around the idea of getting a small trailer to haul behind my car when I drive to open track days, big car shows, and auto-x events. So now I'm considering building or adapting a small utility (4x6) trailer as a "track day trailer"

4x6 utility trailer
provisions to mount track rims
jack
Tool box
Chairs
EZ up
Cooler/ grill (I have one of those fire and Ice things they sold a couple years ago)
Air tank
etc
etc

I'm also probably looking at selling my truck since It sits 90% of the time at $4.00 per gallon, so the trailer would also see use as the "Home maintenance and Lowe's trip" trailer, and possibly to haul a 4 wheeler.

So has anyone else done something like this? Post descriptions, Pictures, and lessons learned if you have.

Thanks

Many moons ago, I bought a 4x8 trailer from Tractor Supply.

I cut out the floor behind the axle. I set my spare tires down into the space. This lowered the CG of the trailer and got the row of tires low enough for me to use the inside rear view mirror.

I bought a side mount tool box, the kind that attaches to the side rails of a pick up. I put it at the front of the trailer. I put my jack, jack stands, torque wrench, small tool kit, etc in it and locked it up. The weight of the box and gear inside near the tongue, offset the weight of the tires behind the axle.

This left about a 4x4 area in the middle to put coolers, chairs, EZ-ups, whatever ...
