S2000 Trailer Pics.... Update
« on: July 02, 2007, 05:21:56 pm »
Ok I lied...  I took the trailer out today and totally forgot to get pictures  >:(

But I did get pictures of the hitch install on my car and some pictures of the trailer sitting behind the S2000 in the garage.

I'll get some pictures this coming weekend when I pull it out for an event though.

That should add some power to the racer.  ;)  Are you towing tires and tools with it?

Unfortunately the hitch adds 23lbs to the back of my car, I'll have to lose the weight elsewhere, like my midriff. ;)   Yes tires and tools, it also makes things so much more convenient as I no longer have to pack my trunk before a track or auto-x event I can just hook up the trailer and go and just leave everything in it.  Unpacking the trunk at the event and repacking afterwards is a huge pain.

I think you are a little confused, Wing. When they say a race car has been "trailered", they mean is was carried ON a trailer, not that it towed one.  ??? ::) :rofl2: :rofl:

Nice.   You could add 23lbs to the front to keep the car's weight balanced.

Were the shoots taken with your new Olympus P&S?   They don't look like a 5D with the new CP.  :)

Yup Olympus P&S, I don't want to add more weight to the car, I'm not worried about it being out of balance that is easily fixable, it's total weight that I care about.  I took 50lbs off by changed the exhaust and pretty much put it all back with the rollbar and hitch.

Ah, I thought you were towing your S2K ON a trailer.  :D

Do you feel the trailer when you drive?

Don't even know the trailer is there.  I thought I would be able to tell when starting or stopping but I can't even tell.  Only can tell when it clanks over bumps.

If you are going to PMG next week, believe me you will be able to tell there is a trailer behind you. The roads are so damned rough it alsmost feels as if it's going to rip the hitch off the car.

I guess a droptop like the S2k won't be able to do this as it heads on into the weekend DE's.
