Since it's been 26 yrs. since I bought my trailer, , and the only reason was for quicker get aways from the track when it rained in Fla., I remember I made the access hole in my NMW hubs a little bigger so my drilled down 4-way bar would go down my Moroso studs and get the lug nuts tight.I did it that way for a long time, easier to park, fun at drive-in windows..John Kissel K242

Anyone worth their salt races to do one thing ~ WIN A DRAG RACE. This guy is like the kids on the losing ball team who all get a trophy. When he gets a real bullet maybe then he can compete.

I started in '73, with a '68 Caddy, a homemade tow bar, & my '69 GTO. Ran D/S. Won quite a few races at our local track, those first 2 seasons. Precious memories.

Then the trend was Bock Dragstar open trailers, they sold tons of those things, and they weighted a ton!
