[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

If you've looked at the values of trucks, you probably may as well keep it. I have a 1 year old truck that I bought for about $7k off sticker. 1 year and 16k miles later, I'm $5,500 negative on it. I'll need to spend $5,500 in cash just to sell it. Trade in value is about half of sticker from a year ago. You can't give them away.

Howdy,

You sure that's not 2wd vs. 4wd you're looking at vs. the price of gas?

I assume the price of gas isn't helping, but my experience was that its hard to sell a 2wd truck at anything over "ludicrous" price.
