The '72 and hauler came from Texas. I bought it in Madill OK.

Hey, is there storage under the front cover/windbreak? Looks like a good place to put a winch and toolbox.

I'm envious, I've had daily drivers that didn't look as nice as your trailer

If you got my MPG on that monster and went to all the states I go to, you either have a lot more money than me or less cents in your pocket. And if I wreck it on the track, then what? Take a bus home?

That is really nice. Besides the air dam, which is obviously customized, is the hauler itself commercially available?

If you still have the build plans for that trailer, I'd be interested in seeing them. Looking into building one myself and yours is exactly what I had in mind.

Let me know and I'll PM my e-mail address. Thanks Dan

Are the air dams available aftermarket? I have the same trailer with a winch (invaluable!) but would like an air dam for rock protection.
-Patrick
BTW, the Texas emblem on the trailer is good for 50 extra HP!

Say that when you have to drive 250 miles to a race track, run 11 second 1/4 miles.
And then back

Would you rather do this;



Or this???

Hello Casper,
Great looking trailer my '72 would look great on it also.
Who is the manufacturer I would like to make enquiries please.

1978SA: This is my solution to that issue. Besides safety factor, pushed-pulled too many dead cars to continue.

50hp? At least!

Hey Patrick - There are several after-market air dams available; don't have each of the mfgr's names other than Featherlite, like mine. Maybe Google to get more info. Mine is fiberglass and have seen constructed from alum, alum diamondplate or sheet-metal too. Didn't want no stinkin' rocks bustin' things up while heading to alignment shop, paint shop, an A-X event with race tires or just showin' off!
Mines not necessarily a queen but why call for a tow-truck if you're close to home?
