for years I have used a 6.5x14 flatbed trailer to get my car to the track.  In order to load the car on the trailer I have to put the rear truck tires up on oil change ramps, to lower the rear of the trailer.  Then use 7ft aluminum ramps to further reduce the angle.  In this YouTube short you can see it at the track a little.

I’ve been thinking more and more about getting an enclosed trailer so I can travel to events further away.  I don’t like the idea of parking in a hotel over night with everything right there to see.  So Friday I upgraded to a 7.5x16 all aluminum enclosed trailer that I will be able to drive the car right into without all of the extra steps.

will be nice to have a shady place to site during events as well!

Curious to see what you think about the lights too.

For sure, especially all the weight up high from the sunroof

Nice.  Would be interested in seeing pics of the roof.

Ducts kept things the same, temp wise, despite tracking being harder on brakes and temps being so much higher outside.

Sun roof is on my list as well.  I thought there was an old post that found it was 35 lbs that you save.  35 or 45 it is still in the highest point on the car.  I cut the roof off of a non sunroof car to reskin mine.

i want to do mine for a few reasons.

1) it doesn’t work any more.

2) due to headliner shape, for tracks, my helmet rubs and bumps on right hand turns.

3) weight is in a bad place.  Getting it lower and in right rear will improve balance.

And that’s 12# of unsprung weight.

Makes sense.  Also with Solo2 speeds are lower so you want as much surface area as you can for the air to act on.

In too learn.  I have never run aero on mine.  Three others that I know, long time racers of 1st gens, one stock chassis and other two full tube.  They ran splitters.  They also ran on full sticks.  I could ask for a measurement.

Great progress.  Excited to see how it works out.  Seems like there is always a list of things to be done.  

Is it just me or are they never done!

Added some HONED Development scoops to hopefully get some extra cooling on the front brakes.  Applied new paint to the rotors so we will see what it shows after next Saturday’s track event.

That would make sense. That’s a lot of play in the system!

Bad mounts to transfer a lot of vibration into the car.  Keep us posted!

little update

I just cleaned the pre filter again in mine is still picking crap up from my excursion!

In for the build! Glad to hear you’re bringing it back to life.

sounds like a great list to start with!

Very cool!

Just some good data at the end of the video from the temp stickers and paint.  I need to pull the wheel again as I found another temp comparison chart for the paint.

Great score!

Did you replace the fuel filter that’s under the hood by the wiper motor?  Also if it sat that long I would drain the gas and put fresh fuel in it too.  Sounds like a miss.

Yes video posted above with some track video then a brake recap at the end.

Great writeup and details, that does look like a tough project.

Some behind the wheel highlights and a recap of what I learned on the front brake temps.
