Default Tire Trailer Makes Autocross More Fun
Ran my first event were I could carry all the gear I wanted with me on a trailer. Very cool. Made the whole event a lot more fun. Tires, tools, EZ-UP, chairs, cooler.

Just wait till you move up to a CAR TRAILER. No more hot parking lot tire changing for this old man.

Beating Mustangs & Vipers in the stop light wars with the trailer is a hoot.

Moved up to a car trailer this summer.
Does your tire trailer have the 8" or 12" wheels?
Watch the tire pressures on it!
Also it is top heavy and can roll on you on sharp turns! Thats how I lost mine.

Not nearly as much fun as beating Z06 Corvettes at the track and autocross events with a 260 HP Mustang.

12" wheels. Thank you for the input on the top heavy. The big thing for me will be repacking the wheel bearings. Haven't gotten to that yet. Bought it used for the price of a can of Sunoco
