I think I know Colin's motto: Go big or stay home!

Nice rig Colin!

Interior pics next please!

So when ya gonna start racin'?

Interior pics below. I know this thing is nuts, but it should work. I'm going to have to add tiedowns or E track. The guy I bought it from pulled dragsters.

I couldn't find enough political posters to hide the trailer so I parked it on the loading dock at work "temporarily"

i'm thinking sleeping quarters are not an option. i would suggest D ring tie downs and E track i think Colin. i've seen guys use those load bar set-ups as tire racks, but you obviously need to get the cars situated first.

A mattress will fit nicely in the slot over the hitch.

Sean and I laid the E-Track down this weekend and put cars in for the first time. Easily fits the E36 NASA Spec3 and the E30 Dorifto Dogs Lemons car. Plenty of room left so I don't think two E36's will be a problem.

Yeah, seems to be running well. Brakes still need bleeding and Sean has a few things on his list but we should be good for VIR.

Awesome trailer!

My first thought was to buy one just like it for the club. Split it up into three sections. AC/Heat in the first two. First section is for Timing and Scoring, second is for a taco truck style food area (complete with grill, deep fryer and fountain drinks!) and the last is for cone storage, etc

Crazy what can happen when you actually work on something.

thanks. It's really too big but we've got two cars to drag around, so it works. When Kevin builds his car I don't know what I'll do.

I thought about this too...I like the idea of having just a trailer for everything. Less stuff the break and not able to get to the site.
Plus deep fried foods....yum.

Loaded both E36's and drug them to Richmond VA and back today. The whole thing pulls really nice but only got 9 MPG. Scaled it when I fueled up and the truck and trailer together were a mere 23,320 lbs with a full tank :shock:

There's a few hundred lbs more to go in the trailer before we are done getting it set.
