Open car trailer for lowered Turbo?

Does anyone have a car trailer for going to the track etc? One that you could put tires and tools on with a low deck and long ramps for a slammed 996 turbo?

If you do what brand? Pictures?

Thanks,
Seth

Seth, I bought this for moving the car around when my big trailer is too much. It is steel so it was relatively cheap at around 4K$. The tool box in front in plenty big enough for some tires and a drum of fuel. It has a beavertail in the rear so it is only 15" off the ground, but you will still need some wood to get a lowered TT up without scraping. Kevin

Kevin,

Thats what I'm looking for. Do you know the brand? I think that would work perfectly. Do you know how much it weights. My tow vehicle is rated for good towing, but its slow....

http://prfauto.com/ Seth, for the money it is a good deal. I looked into aluminum trailers and the prices are sky high now since the raw material costs have gone thru the roof. I think it is 3000#s but I would check with PRF to be sure. Tom(topgun) bought one as well and when our cars actually hit the track we are going to get together and our silver cars on matching black Challenger trailers should look good in the paddock.

I have an aluminum open trailer that weighs 1800 lbs, it's not as fancy as the other one, but it's a pain using wood and all that crap to get on and off, easy to screw something up so be careful. I'll post pics later.

Turbohead is just really niceTurbohead is just really niceTurbohead is just really niceTurbohead is just really nice
I have a trailex 8045
with extra long ramps weight is 900lbs it also has a tire rack.
It loads a very low 911's with ease .and tows like a dream with 6 cyi Exporer.
pricey but worth it ...look around for a used one you won't be sorry.
