CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Open trailers, a great way to advertise the sport

Wow! do I ever remember this stuff! Even today while on the highway, if I look up ahead and see what seems to be a Racecar on a "Open Trailer" or "Ramp Truck Hauler" or I see a Firetruck...I STEP ON IT...BECAUSE I LOVE THESE THINGS AND CAN'T HELP MYSELF! There are many reasons why racing and the muscle car era is dying a slow death, but when you hide these beauties in a white box while transporting them...that sure doesn't help to promote the culture. Thousands of folks saw these cars each time they went to the track and back home. That was the draw to racing, that was promoting, that was thriving! Yes I know about the advantages of the box for protection, and not putting any lettering on the trailer for DOT business reasons etc, etc. But the worth of all your toys, and all you success will be nothing if nobody cares or wants it...and if you hide it all the time...sooner or later...NOBODY WILL WANT IT! NO BODY WILL CARE ! Check out this clip of "open towing"
