He was just in Lincoln, NE at the SCCA SOLO Nationals. You should see it with the race tires!Quote:

that's a sweet trailer. A little too low for my tastes, but very functional.Quote:

"Per Schroeder - There are pics of the trailer on our project car page--it tilts/drops down to allow the car to roll off w/o ramps. Pretty clever--Designed by Red LeGrand in the early 1970s. This one was built by Red (like the car) in 1975." GrassRootsMotorsports MagazineQuote:

Just remember to put the pin back in before you drive off.
Very nice, but man, they ain't cheap!Quote:

Some dating back a few years. ;)
Tanner has towed all over the continent with his single axle, no problems.
It lives in my apartment garage. I'm half way tempted to get plans and a MIG and go to town.
So why not build/have built a trailer that will fit in the garage and store the car on it.
I plan to build one myself and that is my plan............since I'm so limited on space. ;)
I'll use a 3500lb torsion bar axle, that will let me get it as low as i want.
since they're independent, they ride better than our cars. :smooth:
Heres a underside pic of Tanners
I wonder if anyone has made a double axle trailer like that. My new race car is too wide to fit between the fenderwells on my dove-tail car hauler. It is too low to get up the ramps on my flatbed. I was going to weld a dove tail on my flatbed and redo the ramps. Now I'm thinking I could just make the axles drop down. The trick will be raising a 1800 pound trailer back up with a 3000 pound car on the deck. I see a $100 harbor freight hydraulic ram in my future.
When you go to Hallett, find the lady that used to organize it prior to the current administration. I can't remember her name, but I'm sure Gary knows it. Her husband has the perfect little Miata trailer that he got for a song. I'm sure whoever made it could replicate it...
