Long story short, last year was my first autocross season and I went all out in mods more than I expected but I had a BLAST! That being said the hook has been inserted and will not come out.
With the addition of my wife wanting to get into a husband-/wife race team (I was ecstatic when she was willing/wanting to at least try) the old 95 Z will get double the runs. My stock 68k mi diff on khumo v710's gets angry and a trailer will serve as a safety net is something breaks. So I wanted to come to the masters of Fbody racing and all that is involved. Here are some questions I had running through my head. What to look for in a used trailer off craigslist? (I prefer double axle electric brakes) I assume at least a 7ft wide x 16ft long. 18ft would be ideal with a 3ft dove tail? Thoughts on "home made" trailers? I would like to keep this $1200 and under but know of a trailer proven to work for a Fbody/Z06 owner that bought a new 18ft w/ 3ft dovetail trailer for $2000. I'm "iffy" on buying a trailer that has been sitting in someone's back yard under a tree with rust etc on it from the simple fact of how well the wheel bearings/elec brakes are holding up. Given a trailer's function, I'm hesitant to buy someone's junk lol. |
