I would not be surprised if the dwindling number of spectators has something to do with everyone switching to enclosed trailers!

 760 the main thing is your up and running. Having fun too by the sounds of it. That's where it's at. Your transportation to the track doesn't have to look like something from "Life styles of the rich and famous"  ;D

I would have not had enough plastic or tarps for that setup last year. Lol We were rained out for 2 months !

I hope 2016 is a good year for us all !

Cool rides. George

I use an open trailer for mine with a twist. I bought a 192" from Cali. 192" is 16'. fit right on my trailer. that was a big dumb thought. 192" equals 20' taking the radii of the wheels and the back roll cage. so i built ramps for the front of the trailer that extend about 4' past the front of the bed. now the rail fits and it sits on a 10* angle. so the only issue is i have to add weight to the front of the trailer and back of the truck to get them down.
