Sweet trailer:D Should get that wrapped as well?

Agreed the trailer turned out well are you only going to be able to drive 65 between stops.....:_paranoid

I am really amazed at how well the trailer cleaned up; it would be cool to wrap it but time and $ isn't on side for that. Instead we're going to decal it up some (Dave - find a way to get me some Source stuff before I leave) and have some fun with it.

I have to admit that I don't know all of the speed limits along the route but we're not overly worried about it. Talking to Mark last year he said that there were two schools of thought - 'steady speed limit driving' with decent mileage and 'slightly exceeding the speed limit here and there driving' with increased gas stops. Neither seemed to have a significant advantage. I think that if we can cruise at 75 more often then not that we will be happy.

I think he meant "Is the trailer capable of going over 65mph?"

If you need more stickers.. just let me know :)

And remember.. take GOOD photos and good journal notes.. don't be afraid to ask someone to snap a pic so you and Dave are in the shot.

The trailer and hitch turned out nice. It will be nice to have a little storage for the trip.

Good luck with it.

The trailer should be up to the task - we hope.

If you have an opportunity send some to David - dark colors. We'll keep you hooked up.:yes:

You got it! Should be lots of camera's around for the week, we'll try to make you proud...

Thanks Mike. Hopefully it allows us some breathing room in the car, without it I think one of us was going to have to carry the front spare on our lap between events. The other nice thing is that it will allow us to carry a couple of jugs of fuel - a little extra breathing room will be appreciated.

What a difference some fresh paint and a tune up makes...

David will fill it up tomorrow and see how much room our spares and tools up. Then... the moment of truth... the test drive!

but as time gets tight - the car hits the highway Saturday - small things are sure to crop up. Lesson learned - the new hubs aren't a direct replacement for the stockers in the ATS spindles. ATS had altered the hubs to use a stud with a nut on it and the material thickness of the SKF hubs is slightly different and the swap isn'r as straight forward as you would hope...

David took a shot at increasing the clearance but there are still issues...

...so we'll have to set these aside for now and change them out after the race. I've got a spare set of ATS spindles in the garage so I'll pop a hub out and we'll bring it with us as a spare instead.

Sorry to hear you're still having problems with those spindles guys,but that trailer really turned out nice Dave,night & day from when I saw it...:wow:

Best of luck to you guys...:yes:
