open race car hauling trailer builders? - Page 2

I just picked up a Kaufman Trailer at the factory in North Carolina. It's 21 feet (19 feet with a 2 foot dovetail) diamond-plate, with 2 - 5000 lb. axles, electric brakes, and break-away kit. You can also get it painted a custom color instead of plain old black.

Very solid and well built trailer.

I had a home built trailer. I will say that having the center open help me out of some jams. I could install an exhaust, change a driveshaft, drop and oil pan, and many other things right on the trailer.

I fixed my wife's car right on the side of the road by pulling the car up on the trailer and climbing under..

It depends upon your budget. Steel with open and heavy axles will provide the best bang for the buck. I opted for a 20' featherllite with 4800lb axles and the inch brakes @ 1910 pounds for my drag pak. Its a very nice trailer and with weight distribution bars towed great up and down the mountains of Tennesee....thanks mapquest....cumberland pass is nice though

Unfortunately, Classic Trailer in Sturgis, Mich. closed up last year and has been bought out by a company just outside of Cincinnati. Hopefully they will do as good a job as the original company.

I purchased a Bri-Mar open trailer from Hillwood Sales about 2 years ago, 18 ft full deck, power coated, removeable fenders, 3500 pound axles.

Great trailer, towed really well, and Hillwood Slaes was great to deal with.

I recently sold it and got a really good return on my investment, the trailer still looked new because of the powder coat.

I have two open trailers and as always, they are for sale:

2008 Featherlite 20ft deck, 4800 lb axles, 6 lug rims, ALL Aluminum (just like the one Eric described earlier!)

1995 Steel deck 18ft, built very low, w/ a large box on the front (which is beveled to cut down on wind resistance), new S4500 superwinch, built in AL and in very nice condition, tows awesome!

Just call or e-mail if you'd like pics, info. or my opinion on other trailers...
