open race car hauling trailer builders?

[ss wannabee]

A bit further away from you but Eliminator Trailers by the Unger & Wilhelm Co. in Syracuse, NY has been building decent open race car trailers for years. They were very popular with Northeast-area races and with many racer-friendly options. I'd give them a try!

Take a look at the Texas Rollback trailers. Not the cheapest open trailer, but I saw one demonstrated at a Good Guys show about 8 years ago... No ramps to mess with, no hydraulic ram, the tow vehicle does all the work. I've not seen an open trailer design that I like better.

U&W trailers has been closed for a few years now.
I still have an 04 18ft. Eliminator that's never had a car on it! 300 miles from Syracuse to pick it up!
It's NOT "On sale" It's "For Sale"

I just picked up a Kaufman Trailer at the factory in North Carolina. It's 21 feet (19 feet with a 2 foot dovetail) diamond-plate, with 2 - 5000 lb. axles, electric brakes, and break-away kit. You can also get it painted a custom color instead of plain old black.

Very solid and well built trailer.

I had a home built trailer. I will say that having the center open help me out of some jams. I could install an exhaust, change a driveshaft, drop and oil pan, and many other things right on the trailer.

I fixed my wife's car right on the side of the road by pulling the car up on the trailer and climbing under..

It depends upon your budget. Steel with open and heavy axles will provide the best bang for the buck. I opted for a 20' featherllite with 4800lb axles and the inch brakes @ 1910 pounds for my drag pak. Its a very nice trailer and with weight distribution bars towed great up and down the mountains of Tennesee....thanks mapquest....cumberland pass is nice though
