Open trailers, a great way to advertise the sport

Ed Fernandez · 03-27-2015, 10:10 PM

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?

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!
