Open trailers, a great way to advertise the sport

Well, you won't get any argument from me! Look at all of those contingency decals and sponsors names! And we wonder why we can't get any sponsors anymore. They don't need to advertise to a paying audience, back then the "average Joe" would see what they were selling.

You just came up with the idea of the century. Contingency decals on the trailers that pay. What a great idea.

The problem with that would be that you would automatically become a commercial vehicle participating in inter-state commerce.

That would at least differentiate them from the lawn care businesses though.

Sad part about that is... In many places you are then required to have a CDL to pull through their States. Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska are three that require this if you have any decals on the outside of your trailer. :-(

Seems to me that the way to save "Championship Drag Racing" would be for the NHRA to give a 50% discount on entry fees to anyone entering one of their races on an open trailer!
Maybe we could get more sponsors involved and paying contingent on the Racer getting to and from the track on an open trailer!

That's Bubba and Sons with the enclosed white trailer.

Pedro uses the utility trailer with the four mismatched wheels.
