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.

Yes even the pro's at one time had open trailers

Still used an open trailer when we won the Stock Championship in '04. Bought an enclosed trailer with the championship $$.
I still use an open when I tow the Buick. It is fun getting the looks and thumbs up!
