I go to the track to race not work on the car. Once I got to that point the amount of stuff I bring to the track got much less. I have an open trailer with a box on front. In the box I have my pop up tent and chairs. A small handheld toolbox. A tackle box with some emergency electrical connections and stuff. A floor jack in case I get a flat on the road. Fuel jugs for the car. That’s about it. If I break the car I go home.

I bought a bunch of those tubular hooks from HF and use them to hang chairs, extension cords and air hose.

I just bungee the canopy to the trailer. If it's going to be windy, I bungee the other legs to the generator and a toolbox.



I can't speak to "organization"...

The more you bring , the more people borrow and you never get back. I tried getting back in and bringing less. Kids , wife, bikes , cooler. I got tired of loading and unloading. bought a bigger trailer and everything we need to get through a day of racing is in the trailer and stays there.

Matt, before your beautiful girls age out of the Jrs, you will have a bigger trailer and even more stuff, because the Jrs will get even more intricate !! But, the way those girls win, it will all be ok with you both !!


You have to put in the effort, to get anything out of it.

I keep thinking about building a shelf across the back of my enclosed trailer about a foot off the ceiling to store chairs and other things. Thinking about the wire shelves Home Depot sell and and make a fold down front on it so things can’t fall down

On a new tag, order it with at least two smuggler holds in the floor. I added two from Pace on my new shadow GT. It was a cheap option at the time and tons of space for spares rarely needed. They called them a spare tire holder but that was a stupid idea. You want your spare easy to get to when loaded.

Any ideas are helpful. Tent, chairs, grill, charger, spare tires, etc.

My tent gets wheeled in between the right rear slick and wall, spare tire above it on the wall. chairs that I never use sit on the curbside wheel well strapped to the wall with aircraft track. A 55 gallon drum sits on the floor in front of them also strapped to the same aircraft track and 2 Rock battery chargers are stored on the floor between the dragster slicks.







also on the floor is a vertical fuel rack, generator and air compressor.
