What are you towing with and what are the weight ratings of the axles?

OK, figured it was a road tractor or a toter.

Please don't take this is critical of anyone. But I look at almost 45000 lbs and thing in the big picture for our team at least, we are needing to get a 1700 lb dragster and a few hundred pounds of people to a drag strip. All the rest is to make us comfortable.
Oh, and I like being comfortable. LOL.
I'm sure most of the heaviest are taking extra cars and I know we take a golf cart....for comfort and extras in case. And a motorhome. We have evolved from me driving my car to the strip, to now my car being less than 5% of our total road weight. Wow!

I have no time or space to work on my race cars at home so I get to the track early and do everything at the track. I will carry two cars and all the parts and tools to maintain them. After having every combo of tow vehicle, I can say this gooseneck toter deal tows better than anything else I've had.

Right around 11k lbs I think.

Truck - 6200 lbs
Open trailer - 1550 lbs
Hooptie - 2810 lbs
Gear (5 fuel jugs, parts, tools, jack, spare tire, etc) I'm going to guess another 400 lbs or so


72 Nova "Hooptie"
