my thought process on this is it is just another form of racing that is spiraling out of control.

piling race tires, doors, pistons, turbos, superchargers, transmissions etc into a trailer and dragging it around is IMO ridiculous.

These guys are working so hard just to prepare to make a run down the track is retarded to me.

I always liked 572Charger's (member here but hasn't been around in a long time) approach, drive it in the gate, straight to the lanes, make a 8.50 pass and drive out.

I wish they would outlaw trailers. James Taylor didn't have one in Two Lane Blacktop and neither should anyone else

Well I will disagree with you on the trailer.. I have
no space in my ride... I need somewhere to carry
some tools and maybe a few parts.. but I sure wont
have any spare trans since I have to pull the engine
and trans together to get the trans out... its just
easier to unhook a trailer and be ready but if they
did outlaw the trailers I can mount a box on the
bed cover between the down bars... but I prefer not to

Really not impressed except by the good driving skills shown. A fat wallet goes along way to a nice build as long as they have a good fire suppression system.

I went and watched for 1/2 a day as it was only a good 2 hour drive, crazy fun times it looked like.

Everyone knows all this street legal stuff is a load of crap. Even here in the sticks the state boys would not let things just ride by.

They should make them be compliant to all 50 states rules and regs. but they let it get this far out.

But it brings in money, people to a lot of tracks and vendors profit as well.

How much $$$$ do you think is in the building of that truck.

Pinks by far has been the best thing in the last 10-15 years overall but of course it got jacked over ego-s and money.

James Taylor didn't have one in Two Lane Blacktop and neither should anyone else...umm that wasn't real life that was a m o v I e.

I dont think ANY hot rod is actually legal in Cali
but my junk is legal here in Mich

I couldnt fit my bag in Eddies duster. My clothes were seat cushions and lumbar support. We almost died in the rain in Chicago. i understand every thing there is to understand about Drag Week and I still say, no trailers

Did Doug Cline have a trailer?

IF they change the rules and outlaw trailers I WILL COMPLY
but till then I'll run the brand new trailer I just
built for DW... in the past when riding with Dale
(quick52) in his 52 ford pick up we would take about
1/2 a hour to load and unload and even he is thinking
a trailer to just unhook and be done... so much easier..
trailers do have a draw back... you burn more fuel
and a lot of the guys have had trailer issues to
deal with(to me thats just lack of maintenance)

I can say that was my first time on dw and I would never go again if we could not have a trailer. Ours had what we needed to race like a pit bike and keg and 2stroke margarita maker

I got nothing against the trailers but full tube chassis? Also being able to change complete motors or trannys is going a little overboard.

---

As the currant rules.. you CAN change ANYTHING except
the BLOCK.. those are the rules
EDIT
for 2015 some of the rules will change but as of now
we dont know what will change... my trailer is 40"x48" but I built it inclosed
