Bugs replied to the thread Laguna Seca dodges a bullet.Great news!I developed a fascination for Laguna Seca watching CART and Cam-Am events starting in the 70's. I had to wait until late in life to start my HPDE hobby. Laguna Seca was at the top of my bucket list.After starting with... (see full post)-

Bugs reacted to Bill Pemberton's post in the thread Trailer Parking En Route to/from a Track Day with Like.Having run at Miller ( Utah Motorsport Campus ) two different times ( one with the Ford School for 3 days and another in a Viper ) you need to put it on your schedule. As noted NASA runs there often and one of the best things about the track is...

Bugs replied to the thread Trailer Parking En Route to/from a Track Day.Hi Rod, I have not driven at UMC. I thought I was going to when Ford had their GT350 Track Attack running there, but they moved the program to Charlotte Motor Speedway, so I got to run at the Roval instead. (see full post)

Bugs replied to the thread Trailer Parking En Route to/from a Track Day.Yes, Bill, I meant Portland International Raceway. Thx for clarifying!Unfortunately, I didn't make it to Portland-IR last fall. About a week after my first post, I ran a weekend track day at Oregon Raceway Park (my favorite track and as luck... (see full post)

Bugs reacted to Don Lariviere's post in the thread Trailer Parking En Route to/from a Track Day with Like.I have parked at motels before that are along interstates, they all seem to have truck based parking. I also put one of these in my truck and one in my trailer (I have a battery and solar charging in my trailer), you can get text alerts if it...

Bugs reacted to Bill Pemberton's post in the thread Trailer Parking En Route to/from a Track Day with Like.Not sure guys, but I think Bugs is commenting on Portland International Raceway, which has the same initials as Pittsburg International Raceway. Just a guess , but with an Idaho address that makes more sense for an HPDE.Bugs, I do what you do...

Thanks I have been looking at these units trying to decide whether this or the conventional style will be easier for an old fart who has trouble getting up once he is kneeling or laying down, ha. I appreciate the note and it seems like Mac's have...

I have a 22 Ft. ATC with just a few options in the interior, and I feel like there is nothing behind me. I used to run a 26ft Steel Discovery trailer all over the US with a 5.7 Hemi Ram so I would have to believe an aluminum 26 ft. ATC or...

Holy Crap... thats standing by (in?) your product!!!

Us rednecks just jacknife the tow vehicle and use a second pickup to pull the car on the trailer with a rope.My project super trailer uses a Tractor Supply 4K pound winch. Remember, you're not picking the car up, you are pulling it. That being...

I have an open trailer, so exiting the vehicle after loading isn't an issue. I ended up installing a 3500 lb Summit Racing brand winch with a synthetic rope for loading after accidentally lunching my wife into the air. She was standing on the...

I actually prefer loading with the winch, as I can watch the spitter clearance on the ramps, and later fender clearance (only about 1-1.5" on each side) closely. No way to see that from in car.I've used 2000-2500lb atv winches for years. You...

Bugs reacted to steveespo's post in the thread Trailer Parking En Route to/from a Track Day with Like.Most all hotels around race tracks have areas where truckers can park. I usually back my trailer up against a retaining wall or earth berm to make it difficult for thieves to easily get the car off or out of the trailer. And your method of...
