Race wheels trailer to tow with C5?
Hey Gang,
Quite a while ago I saw a nifty micro-trailer posted in the for sale section that held 4 race wheels vertically in a row, and just enough room for a jack and small tool box. Pretty much the most compact setup you could pull behind a C5 to get the bare essentials to the track.
Does any one have any info on where this (or a setup like it) came from, or where a guy might procure one?

Check out the Harbor Freight trailer #90153 Don't know if Harbor Freight is in B.C. but you should be able to find a store in Bellingham. Does B.C. require licensing a trailer that small?
I used this trailer for a couple years before I went with an open car trailer. I did change the coupler for a 2" ball version and added a swing jack with a wheel to be able to push it around easily.
The wiring was simple to do as the wire color is a standard. The trailer was narrow enough that I could easily see to the rear using the outside mirrors. IIRC. the total towed weight was under 400 lbs.
Install some 3/4" plywood for a deck, add a Contico Pro-Tuff box from Lowe's
This was my setup:

I have a really nice one I purchased a little over a year ago from another forum member. I used it twice. I have an 18 ft auto trailer now. It's for sale if you're interested. $250. Has an equipment box and post for 4 wheels/tires. Trailer tires are 13" and it Comes with a spare trailer tire, mounted underneath, and an extra coupler to match your ball size. I can send pics in about an hour or so. I'm in Marysville WA so not too far away from you.
Looks like C4cruiser beat me to it. I got the trailer in his pics from him. It's first rate!
