I like the graphics. Makes it look less commercial. I'm guessing you added those? Stickers?

Thanks Mike, the same crew chief that denied the poles, disco balls and change machine was involved in that decision. The motorhome had the graphics and she wanted both units to match. Buddy who does graphics did a computer rendering and color matched the graphics. He did an awesome job I think. Both are vinyl decals!

Howie,

Thank you.

It was a chore to build and move. Had a 55’x80’ and it was a lot of stuff to move. My crew chief said she wanted a bigger house, I said I want a bigger shop; so she said what are we waiting for? (She didnt have to ask twice) I took last season off of racing to build it, finish it and move. It was worth it!

Rob, that is a similar setup to our friends. Because of the slope of the property he actually puts two of his dragsters in his finished basement via a LARGE sliding back door so he can work on them during the winter months! Would never believe it if I hadn't seen it in person.

JP, thank you! You can’t take it with you, so I might as well spend my daughters inheirtence!

Mike, doesn’t the cobalt get in the way of the girls dancing on those two poles?

No, not at all. The pole and disco ball is in the other room. Didn't want a bunch of sweaty chicks around my car!

It's pretty cool. After pulling the French doors off, the car on clears by about 3/8" on each side. I would have never thought of doing this, but when I bought the house there was an old Opel in the basement. That started the wheels turning.....

Ed, how is your winch powered? Is it hooked into the breaker box and only has power when the trailer is plugged in or does it run off of a battery?

Thanks!

Everything 12v in the trailer only has power when the master switch is in the on position.

Well, Ed we have something in common. I have a 12v master switch in the trailer too. It's always off, except at the track. Killing the power eliminates one possible source of a fire......

I actually have done the "master cutoff" thing in my last two trailers. My original thinking was if the winch solenoid ever stuck(I've heard of it happening) I could reach over and kill the power.
