I redelivered our trailer to the trailer place yesterday for the "over the winter" work. Since the driver's side needs to be pretty much rebuilt as a result of my "incident" (I may have the courage to post a photo of the damage soon), we're looking into having that side provide access for car ingress/egress so that the contortions currently required to get in and out of the cars will be eliminated. One possibility being considered is two swing-up panels that would double as "awnings", providing a shaded place to sit outside the trailer. Other trailer modes/additions being considered are: a winch (I saw one installed below the floor, with a sheave that swings up for the cable when the winch is being used - really neat, and eliminates the tripping hazard that would otherwise result from the winch being mounted on the floor); exterior floodlights; interior floor-level lights to provide some visibility for tieing down the cars; something on which to hook/store the tiedown ratchets/straps; upgrading the weight rating from the current 15k to 18k lbs.; a roof-mounted HVAC unit; I'm sure there's more, but that's what I remember at this moment.
Looking at the Chin Motorsports calendar, we're considering doing a Roebling Road even in late March - anyone familiar with this track? Then we'll do Watkins Glen in mid-May, probably VIR in early July, and then possibly the Glen again, then VIR again, and then maybe Road Atlanta. If we do all of those, we'll hit our target of six events in a year. We'd like to do Mid-Ohio, but the only time Chin is doing that is Memorial Day weekend, and my son is getting married that Saturday. We talked about moving the wedding, but decided that wasn't wise.
