I used to use an open center trailer. It was easier to slide under the trailer to tie the car down than what it is to reach under the car cause its so low

I have an 18 foot like Redgar's, same brand and everything. I've been using it for 2 years and it's been a great trailer, but I find myself wanting to bring more stuff with me now, so the enclosed is gonna be the next step.

Looking for stuff now, looking at alot of things actually, one thing for sure is the tires, make sure that you get something with enough tire/axle capacity for the weight (i'm trying to get enough for 25% more then I know I will brin got be safe)

I want a 28 footer, but there's no way it will fit in my driveway and the little rise it has will surly be a pita as it's probably gonna bottom out trying to back it in But, I think putting a slightly bigger tire on it will help that alot, that and having an adjustable height reciever so I can get home, lower the front of the trailer some so the back won't bottom out when backign it in.

Probably gonna end up with a 24 or 26 footer.

My 26 foot, I'm cheap so I went with the cheapo home depot cabinets on mine. But I did spend some extra money on a big remote winch, winch is a must have with these cars and an enclosed, unless you can climb out the window driving them in isnt an option. I have the big escape door on the LH side but the doors on these cars are nowhere close to clearing the trailer wheelwell, even with the front on 3" tall ramps.

I had a bri-mar like edgar/JL as well (16 foot), they are nice open trailers for lower cars and were great for checking over the car underneath before and after the track. Not to mention you could pull it easy with a mid size SUV or 1/2 ton pickup since they are light.

That just means you're like every other racer I know

Keep it in mind if ya want to go back to an open Brimar like you had before. Just have to give me a little warning to get the $ together to even it out.

I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, I'm about 1/2 done with the new car and I'm already losing interest.

But I'd sell the whole mess, trailer ATV, generator, canopy, chairs, misc tools, winch, hitch, truck, everything for the right offer
