enclosed trailer, where do you put the escape door

other than the very witty: "Where ever the wife can find it." ..

where do you put the escape door on a 24 foot trailer with a 14 foot long car ? over the fender is cusomary, but that seems pretty far forward.

how would you measure for this ?

anyone ?

 

Not being a smart@ss, but I seem to remember Pete having a trailer with a perfectly placed escape door, but I can't remember if that was the trailer that the Indians are using now or his new one? We have one on our stacker, I can put a tape on it if you're interested...

 

This works well for my 70 Chevelle, not sure about your car, though.

Are you having one built? I want to add one to my existing trailer. Curtis Roys has the ultimate trailer in my opinion. His trailer sides open up and become canopy's. Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Every street side door I have seen is always above the axles/fenders. Can you get them put where you need them?? My 19' car would be best suited with a over-the-fender door. Wish I would have ordered that on my trailer. ou:

 

The door in the enclosed trailer that I use was put in years after it was built. It originally was used to haul our sprint car around before becoming a street car hauler.

 

that is the way I am going to go.

Copo Pete called and offered the same advice: 4x8 canopy door it is. only $100 more than the 5x4 escape door.

Frank, I am following your lead and getting a Storm from John's in Toledo

 

I was going to say talk to Pete, I love his concession door( Canopy). I've thought of having my trailer cut on and having it that done to it.
One it's cool, but biggest I couldn't get out as I got fatter !!!!! Pete I know your lurking- how big is your door?

 

The Roy's trailer the whole sides go up. It looks like a protable stage when its set up. I love that wide open with lots of sun and rain protection

 

This is important, I didn't realize how big mine is and the door makes contact. ou:

 

Here ya go............ Notice how the door is built so it clears the tires/fenders. Cool.

 

Well- did you order your trailer????

 

Yep it's on order I should have it by Martin

 

should have it the Monday after Martin :rant:

 

Missed it by that much !!!!! ( said in a Maxwell Smart voice )

 

I think we got it right

 

Nice color...............Looks good! how's it tow?? how did you run at 131????

 

the trailer towed very well.... but the truck was a little strained on some of the hills....


wait till the wife finds out I may not have bought enough truck

the Vette ran like it always does... qualified at 13.332 ran a 13.31 in the first round and slowed from there.

I had a great time and congrats to Bob Witt who gets a second win over me at Martin :kodak:
