I already have a trailer, but I hate it. I also have a buyer for it already so I want something new ASAP. Scott or Ed, PM me about that trailer, I am very intrigued. I have been searching for a good one.

your car still sucks.... haha just kidding...
and from my experience of going from a car with 110 RWHP to 387 RWHP over a winter... you will scare the crap out of yourself a few times over the course of your first couple of races.... mostly in the way of coming into corners hotter than you should be... but with decent brakes you should be able to carry a lot more speed into the corner and brake later...
but you better take video of it on the track for all of us to watch

I have been searching for a good one.I will get a full set of pictures of the trailer for you and send them to you. Also the cost info and modifications that we had made to it (tire rack, extra long smooth ramps, tie downs, etc.). The big problem with a lot of these trailers is that they are great for hauling your used Dodge, but performance cars "high center" on them and the doors will not clear the tire fenders on the trailer so you have to squiggle through the window, etc etc. So you just have to tweak it a little. I will PM you.

Sure. Just PM me with your email address and I will just send them to each of you at the same time. If this gets too popular I suppose we can do a separate thread for folks.

What Up? Eagle1's trailer is perfect for what it is - Hauling a car...
Can't wait to see how your car Gets-Down at the track MB, Eagle1's car Kicked *** at Streets of Willow yesterday. Scott's driving wasn't all that bad either. All and all, was a successful day.

Here are some things to look for in the near future...

- Redline Track Events Time Attack results and pics
- SVRTech Dual 3" Exhaust review and pics

So with that I say thank you to all of the forum members who have made this thread exciting to write and a big thank you to all of my sponsors for helping out on the project!
