Open trailer setup

Everything that was said above is the way to go. I have had to modify some things over the years on mine. Like make the ramps pull out vs loading them under the trailer (next to impossible to get out in tight quarters). I also would recomend wheel chocks so that you put the car in the same spot each time. Also once you get the car set on the trailer, paint a line down the deck of the trailer next to the tires, this will speed up loading the car by yourself (you will have a reference). I also installed straps that go over the rear tires, this keeps me from having to climb under the car to tie it down (especially when it is raining). I use regular straps on the front. I have some other things that I have to do when time allows but everything that has been said by others is the right thing to do. Have fun. By the way what class will you be running with your starfire?
