    Well folks and a few friends,(lol) last year i bought a used 18 foot car trailer and it served its purpose .Well this year i deceided that i was going to get real serious about bracket racing so i needed to get with the program so i bought a new car hauler for Blue Thunder.Its a 24 foot enclosed with a built in 5000 lb wench,black and white checkered floor,aluminum 10 inch runners to self guild the car in. It has custom tie downs to the aluminum runners so you can tie down the car anywhere in the trailer.The trailer is completely insulated and finished on the inside. There is plenty of room to even sleep in the trailer and to haul all of the equipment that I will ever need to carry for the racing season.Im thinking of having some of the graphics takin off and a large pic of Blue thunder put on both sides and above the pics the steer head and OutLaw Jimmy Twogates Racing, it should look pretty cool i think ,ill post new pics in a month when its done.

    Very Very nice :clap:

    I did circle track racing out of one of those and it sure beat the old open trailer.

    So what do I have now - an open trailer. :huh:

    By the way - Happy Birthday Jimmy :bday:
