Open trailers are awesome!! ...but most don't hold all the tools/spares it takesto go racing these days. I once saw a modified trailer, I believe it was at Putnamville, that did the job. It had a tire rack 3 rows deep, and lots of tool boxes and closets for storage. It also had an enclosed area up front for all of the valuable equipment that needed to be locked up. It was by far the coolest trailer I have ever seen. If anyone has any pics of something similar, id love to see it.
The best thing about an open trailer is that you can easily paint it with a spray can whatever color you want. My dads used to be neon yellow. I think a neon teal trailer would be super rad, maybe even fuschia!

Sorry to keep this thread off topic, but all the talk of open trailers reminded me of a story that happened to me.
I was almost kicked out of a USAC show one time due to a disagreement I had with an official I had concerning the size of my trailer.
This happened at Jolient about 5-6 years ago. The USAC official was directing haulers and was giving all of the good pit spots to guys with toterhomes and semis. This offical was telling all of the guys with smaller or open trailers to go park in the back 40. The team I came up with that day happened to have a toterhome. They also had all my tires in their rig. So the offical told the team I was with to park in a prefered spot and told me with my 16' enclosed to go park somewhere else. I ignored his instructions and parked next to the toter I was with. A yelling match ensued. At one point he evened threatned to not allow me to run that night due to my insubordination. After explaining my need to park next to the other rig due to my equipment being in their, another offical finally got invloved and in the end I got the park in the prefered area.
I can't lay all the blame on USAC, it was simply a guy in a uniform on a power trip. And I understand that USAC has to keep their regulars happy and give them the best pit spots. I will say though that they put me through a ton of BS simply because my truck and tiny trailer didn't cost as much as some people homes...
