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

Slightly old pic now... I have a new truck..

Probably not what you were looking for.. but.. it does everything you need it to... including the ability to sleep in it (with A/C) at tracks like Nashville SS (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Now your just bragging! Sure would like one of those though.

The problem is.. I started out looking just like you are... small trailer, etc.

The problem I was having is simply that if something goes really wrong... I pack the car up and I still have a ride home.

I realize that everyone has priorities, etc.. but, I personally find (found) it hard to run my car like I should knowing that it was my only ride home. I'd jump on an open trailer 10x faster than a small 4x6 tagalong. They can be had for $1500 or so (used) all over the place.
