Re: Open trailers, a great way to advertise the sport
it had a 427BBC and turbo 400 in it, the 413 industrial motor dodge put in it didn't make it.
This truck was a truck built for Chrysler racing team and Arlen Vanke had it first, then sold to JEGS for Emery's FC, we bought it from JEGS, and sold it to a local dirt racer where I found it in a farm field and JEGS got it back and now is redoing it back to there colors |

Re: Open trailers, a great way to advertise the sport
I started out by flat towing my first gremlin for about 13 years, then graduated to an open trailer for 10 years. Got the 18' enclosed in 2000. All served my purpose and budget. I hate to pee in the corn flakes but how long do you think it would take state officials to treat open trailers with decaled cars as they do decaled trailers?

Re: Open trailers, a great way to advertise the sport
Yea, good point Ed..If it's truly about the fact that you are competing for money, and not that you're operating a monster rig, then I guess you would need a CDL for your Bass boat and your Motocross bikes in the back of the pick-up. I don't really see that happening, but it seems like the same thing if they started hitting on guys with little open trailers....Michael can tell us what it's like on the highway...open...and stickered up!

Re: Open trailers, a great way to advertise the sport
OK, I'm the one your talking about...I bought this to eventually pull the mustang, but all last summer and no doubt this summer I'll pull up and when I say "just a junior dragster" the track guy steps back, shakes his head and says "ok"
I think it's 53ft long overall, motorhome in the front and a a little over 16' of enclosed ramp in back. Yes I love it and wouldn't trade it for anything..HOWEVER, I am considering a way of putting plexiglass side panels so you can see the car inside. Put some LED lights shining inside on the car and cruise down the highway! |
