I guess I'm going to have to get a hitch and a trailer. I need something that will haul at least 4 315's and tools.

I mounted a fender tool box at the front of my little trailer. It locked, so I left my compliment of track necessities inside of it. No longer loaded and unloaded it for track days.
The trailer I bought had about 30" of space between the last cross brace and the very end of the trailer. I cut out the floor between the cross brace and the back brace and the tires stood up, placed down in this "well". It significantly lowered the CG of the trailer and I could just see over the top of the tires in the rear view mirror. I welded a piece of pipe on either side of the trailer and slid a smaller pipe through them and through the wheel spokes. I made tabs to put a combination lock through for security. Then a ratchet strap across the top to kepp them from bouncing around at 100mph .... Tire placement also balanced out the tool box to about 20lbs of tongue weight. I could then move around things like a cooler, jack, sand bags for the EZ-Up, rotors, etc. for the desired tongue weight. It sure seemed to pull great at 60lbs, +/- 10 lbs .... |
