Hah, no, the front area's gonna be equipment storage and whatnot, although it's going to take a while to add things as I go and figure out where I want things. High on my list is a wall-mounted tire rack so I can carry separate wet+dry setups, and some kind of workbench up front and tool storage, etc.

Yeah hopefully this summer I'll start branching out a lot, at least to MSRC, and maybe try at least one long trip (maybe Road Atlanta or something) once I get comfortable with the tow setup.

Sorry, no A/C . I guess down the road I could add one, but no plans for it right now.

Nice.

Hell them things are cheap. Cut a hole in the roof and wire it up for a generator. Well worth it.

There's already a hole in the roof But it would need bracing, and if I bothered with the AC unit at all, I'd want to go ahead and wire 110V throughout and do the generator right and run the 12V from the gen as well and blah blah blah. It just gets complicated, and I don't have the time for it right now. Summer might end up being a good motivator though.

Nice trailer. If you're not putting an A/C on it. Use one of these. I have used these on my camper. They work great. Putting them on my motorhome in the spring.

Sweet! Nice thing about having an AC/Generator is that you can camp comfortably at the track! That's the best part!

Several of the guys who I track with put in some awesome (and cheap) tire racks... They put two bars across the trailer sized for their wheels. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the pictures of them but I'll keep looking since I think I did a pretty poor job of describing.

No, I'm hitting Driver's Edge @ TWS Jan 25/26, which is two weeks before the COTA thing. I figure that will be my shakedown trip for my basic trailer setup and the car to make sure I'm ready for COTA. Barring work-travel conflicts, I'm pretty much planning to make every MSR-H and TWS event that Driver's Edge is doing this year, and start hitting their Cresson ones starting in March or so. Since TWS is so close now, I may start picking up more TWS events too (e.g. PDS and PCA weekends).

I still haven't decided about how I'm going to do wheel storage. I'm not 100% comfortable about how much weight those tire racks I linked above hang off the side of the walls. Another option is E-track with shoring beams running across the trailer up high and storing the tires across the rear edge of the trailer way up at the top, but then access to them isn't great without removing the car first. My best plan right now (because it's a nice interim plan and doesn't preclude other options down the road) is putting a strip of E-track way down low along the left front wall (like 1 ft up), and just setting the tires against the wall on the floor in a row and running a tie-down strap through the center of them to the E-track.

Good call, just signed up. Probably some of the Houston Z-car crowd will be there to hang out with too
