Tiresmoke Turbo Trailer

Post by TireSmoker »

I present to you, the Tiresmoke Turbo Trailer. I pulled the trigger back in May for an enclosed car trailer. It's a Diamond Cargo 8.5x20'. You can order a lot of different stuff, but I went for the important stuff -- power awning (shade), and an electric tongue jack. It's listed as 3300lbs empty. Maliboost is 3100 lbs, so should be around 6400, + ~200lbs of tools/gear/etc, 6600. My specific Turbo Truck is rated to tow 9200, so I hope I'm good there. I think I may want to get a weight-distribution hitch, though.

You'll definitely want to get that, but otherwise you'll be fine. Kevin pulls the same type right with a heavier car with no issues. But he has that hitch and makes a world of difference.

Very nice. Even when we started road racing, could not have envisioned either of us having a new enclosed trailer.

First time I noticed the custom plate on the Maliboost 8)

Can you add a hitch to the back of the trailer to tow the utility trailer you use for drag week?

And finally - that trailer looks like it could use a Tiresmoke decal of some kind
