Yes... a trailer. The rules for the Tire Rack One Lap of America state that for the duration of the event you are not allowed any chase or support vehicles and that all of your supplies must remain with the car for the week so over the past few years a lot of the teams have turned to small tag along trailers to help with the load and we're no different. The challenge of fitting a weeks worth of 'junk' in the car, plus tools, plus spares, plus - and this is a big plus - tires just isn't possible so we made the somewhat painful decision to tow a small trailer behind us. It was the tires more than anything that put us over the edge... a 335/30-18 just doesn't fit in the trunk no matter how hard you will it in there.
David started working on the trailer over the last couple of days... after hunting around for a few days he found this one literally in his own back yard. It needs a repaint so David took the sand blaster to it yesterday:
It should do the job once it's cleaned up and a couple of minor issues are addressed. Best part is that it has two enclosable, lockable compartments and should be able to fit all of our gear, tools, spares, and supplies.
Work on the hitch for the Camaro will resume after Del Mar.
