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 didn't mean to start too much of a sidetrack originally.
I did tow a harbor freight trailer with me to Memphis to the NFME in 2005 and I used it for autcrosses with my 2002 Z28. I think I got about 26 mpg or so going to Memphis, but we were towing close to 80 and it's been years (so I might remember wrong). The mileage wasn't bad. A small enclosed trailer may be much worse though, but still cheaper than operating a truck. |
