[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

I have a tiny red HFT trailer that is intended to be a tire trailer (one of these days).

I laid (four not two) eight foot long 2x10's on it a couple of weeks ago, bolted them down, put a short section of 2x4 across the ends of the 2x10's and bolted that on, then brought home a 600 lb Kwiklift on it that was on two pallets.

Towed the little red trailer behind the little red Aveo about 40 miles each way. Took more pedal to accelerate, but didn't notice much difference once I was up to speed since the load was low and tucked behind the car.


It took just a couple of minutes to take the bolts out and put the trailer back to normal when I was done with the oversize load.

Reason for edit: only listed half the 2x10's the first time
