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 |

Thanks I've gone from jamming 4 tires/jack/tools in a car to drive hundreds of miles to autocross, had friends with tire trailers and convoyed with them and then also open and enclosed. If you are indeed climbing the pyramid then I've never seen anyone go smaller or less on the trailer towing capacity. Yes, fuel prices suck, but my dmax will mostly sit in the driveway and I'll daily drive the 1LE. Fuel costs arent too bad if you only drive it when you need it. Racing will never make financial sense, so I'm not even going to go there. (IMG:http://www.witchdoctormotorsports.com/ch82pic05.jpg) 28' of car/tools/spares/golf cart carrying goodness!
