And would not be hard to make..



But this is what I had...




2 of them, snatched them from behind a gas station that had gone out of business.

Took the signs off the top of em though.

free tire rack, no complaints!

I agree on cabinets in the trailer. I went a different way to carry tires with e-track and 2X4's. The tire carrier is 2X4 with bracing.

I have the same setup, but in the front. I love it. I can remove the boards and the rack is an afterthought during the weekend. 20ft trailer.

Ignore the mess. And me poking my head in the doorway. I was prepping for a race weekend.

Another good way to get them out of the way for storage.

Cheap to make, does the job just fine, and saves money for spending on expensive Racing Parts.

I really thought 32' would do the trick!

By the time you add a fridge, microwave, sofa bed and pit cart....you're gonna need a bigger trailer!!

Luckily the garage is 50' deep!!!!!!

Jeff, the car looks great! ...and I am not at all jealous of the trailer. Nope. Not at all.


Not to hijack my own thread, but I do have 1 question. Why did you decide to ditch the ducts and Wilwoods on the C4 and go back to the stock setup (assuming that's what's on it)?

That thing was absolutely terrifying to try to stop from full-boogie with the J55s. It took me all of about a lap and a half at VIR before I had them cooked. It took 1 time with the pedal hitting the floor and a wild ride through the grass going into T1 at VIR to decide that I wanted something a little beefier. If it wasn't for having to fit them under the 17s, I would have gone even bigger.

Now that we hijacked this into a hauler thread....



Ours was a little bit longer than RedLSGTO's at 28 foot, but plenty of room for what I needed with extra storage room in the back of the hauler.

The trailer was no where as cool inside as Vator's, or Shreks.

Mine kinda looked like yours inside..

Looks like a tube frame car. What series were you running?

It was a decent hauler, but a lot of the guys we were racing with had Semi Trailers that could haul two cars so I felt kinda punked..


That was a retired ASA car also.. It was a Port City Perimeter Chassis that we were using for a Late Model series at Winchester Speedway in Indiana.

Chevrolet Lumina 5 star Body, as there was a template body rule.

I always preferred the outlaw bodies myself as they are cheaper and faster.

Didn't have much luck with that one to be honest, our best run out with it that season we were 2nd fast qualifier, and was running 3rd in the 100 lap feature race, we were the last car on the lead lap about 50 laps in when we had a caution, so decided to take on tires as we had nothing to loose in track position, danged wheel bearings on the right front were so hot the grease caught fire.

I wanted to go back out... and would have if it had been my car, but the crew chief was worried we might tear up the car so parked it.





Rubbing is Racing..

After a season in the heavier ZR-1 with GS calipers, cheap rotors, Carbotech pads, no cooling, and zero brake issues, I made the call.
Georgana is smooth and fast and very easy on the brakes!
I moved the ducting down next to a narrower radiator installed.
I removed a good deal of weight along with the Greenwood stuff.
Plus the car made more HP using the same dyno than it did before you bought it.

More HP + lighter car + Coilovers/adjustable shocks = a very wife!!!!














Thought you might enjoy what's going on under the dash now!!!

I did the same with E Track and aluminum shoring beams.

Have fun, I live right down the road from Mid-Ohio

I, on the other hand am NOT easy on brakes.

What did you do to the engine? What did it make? That dude was always mean.

Pads? If so, I'll be hitting you up after this weekend.

Meant to quote this part as well...

You did w whole lot to that thing that I always wanted to do but didn't have the time/space/money to pull off.

I do dig that dash.

I found out by beveling the wood I didn't have any track marks. Plus I'm cheap.lol

I use that back area to carry all my extra junk. Chairs,grill,etc....

[vetteman9368]

what pads do you run? we carry some, but not enough as of yet. This shop was primarily street/strip and I'm trying to cover more road race and autocross stuff as well. I'll find sources for the things there are a demand for.
