Yeah, but it snapped while racing the Blue Bullet-

It lasted allllll that time, until you got put under real pressure by yours truly!

Don't let the pressure get to you kid.
I know you are trying to pump up the car as much as you can to try and be competitive with me.

Call me biased but a shredded belt doesn't count as "breaking" kind of like a flat tire.

For some reason, he just can't beat blue cars.

Unfortunately for me, you only put those packages together against me!

You usually stink!

I went red because I knew I had too push it.

Wow... I never thought I'd see the day when you admitted Shawn is the better driver...


But, back on topic... When it comes time for me to buy a trailer, I'm going to look at Franklin trailers. They are a big sponsor of drag racing and if they can be close in price (~$200) I'll do business with them... Unless I can get a great deal on a used one...

That may be true.
While I've only raced at a selective few tracks outside of NJ I have actually visited lots of different tracks around the nation.

Cecil (raced there once or twice)
Maple Grove
Westhampton/Long Island Dragway (first track I ever ran at, now closed )
Capital
MIR
Gateway International
Beech Bend
Palm Beach Raceway (back when it was Moroso)
Carolina Dragway
Lime Rock (not a drag strip of course)

Those enconotrailers are a good deal for the money. I was very impressed with the workmanship.

I've run at Richmond.....I ran to the concession stand to get a burger at the NCC in 07.

I have an econo trailer and no problems opening door on the 85. There is a dealer off of rt70. I can look it up if you are interested.
