IIRC, the differences between J.R.'s trailer and mine is, his has a 5 foot tongue with generator box, 8 foot interior height, AC, fender well cabinet. slick mounts, awnings and fresh water tank.

Seabass,
Did the awning interfere with the forward most door? Almost looks like a second holder was added.
And is that a bigfoot mounted inside the trailer?

Really nice trailer!


Thanks, equalizer hydraulic jack, the front door has 2 lock open positions, one allows the awning to come out, the other doesn't.

Steve upgraded from a 2002 to 2004. At least he can get his long car in now, 36'.


We are trying to make it up there again.... 34'

There are some small differences as well but other wise pretty close yes

Denny, what did you think about them calling the race the other day? If you don't want to say on here we can discuss it when I get there.

Pivotdoc was not the happiest person in the world.

We weren't happy either. After Vicky put a .013 thou package on Steve, she put a .015 thou on Bob Ross in the semi's. She had her mojo and wanted to run the final. I can understand why they stopped for the fireworks but they could have finished Sunday morning for sure. It is what it is, we will deal with it. See you in a couple of weeks.

towed 150 miles last night for the first time with the trailer loaded with both cars. Happy to report that it was a noneventful tow, everything stayed put. Haven't weighed the trailer yet fully loaded but my guess is it's right at 13,000 lbs. going down the road.

Oh and on our way to 50,000 views, about "just another white trailer." Uncontrollable Laugh

More photos of the trailer fully loaded and all Pit Pal accessories installed coming soon.

Again, if you have interest in a trailer like this one or any trailer from Intech, Vintage and Renegade, call Bryan Keller at KB Trailer Sales.

So in the first picture on the last post what is that beside the generator in the floor? Also, answer honestly, did you forget to drain the bowls on the carb and the fuel tank the first time you raised the dragster up?

Looks well laid out and I like the double stack fuel jug holder.

air compressor and no on the bowls because I was reminded by a racer with the same setup. The fuel tank is not drained though.

The vertical fuel jug rack fits my layout perfect though it's not the one I wanted.

I'm going to give you one more piece of advice from someone who has bee hauling two cars like this for 10 years. Tie the rear suspension down on the door car if you haven't already, or at least limit it from extending. When I first started hauling my cars like this I had roughly 5" between the roof of my door car and the support bar under the wheels of the dragster. Door car was strapped to rear end housing. Was a non issue until one trip down a very rough interstate and it hit the roof.

Ed,

I know I am pi$$ing in the wind telling you this, but there is no way I would tow a dragster without a support under the seat area. I use a bladder on the floor and there is no way in heck I would not support that span, especially draped over your firebird. If you don't believe me put a go pro on the hood of your firebird and drive down a bumpy road.
