Why should it be anyone elses problem that they built a street car that can't fit a hanky in it. Its like me bitching my Challenger was 800 lbs heavier then the 50 fox mustangs in the lanes. Is that their fault?
It isnt anyone elses problem... its in the rules
that you can run a trailer... more and more guys
are going with with trailers because its much easier
to just unhook

You can't completely ban trailers, because some cars have zero room inside. The guys with the Vette can't carry a lunchbox without a trailer and others are similarly room challenged..............BUT you could seriously cut back on the SIZE of the trailer allowed.
And there is NO ILLUSION that these are "street cars". DF himself says that. Street car and street legal are two entirely different things. If it passes registration or inspection in the home state.......it's street "legal"...........end of discussion.
As far as Larry, putting the car in "impound" and making just himself and Chad service it would have put the kybash on the whole "transformers" thing and I was surprised they didn't.

I don't understand what the big deal is with the size of the trailers. Heck if someone can tow a 24 ft trailer behind thery're car and compete, i say congrats! Not only can they haul the weight the can haul the mail as well.

I get the whole trailer deal, you take a car like that on a 1000 mile journey racing or not and your going to want to bring some stuff with you. I bring a good chunk of stuff with me, most of which I don't need but its all stuff I couldn't buy on the road, like a Meziere pump for a small block mopar etc.
I think I am going to ditch my little trailer that I have yet to use. I am going to go with the "fannypack" approach. A small hitch mounted rack to hold tires and a few other things. Tires are what really screws up my space inside and makes it a PITA to load and unload. I really fear the total rainout day where one would have to travel in rain the whole trip, so I switch tires.
I liked seeing the two small block mopars win the SB NA classes. It got me and my Dad to thinking on what the next motor should be. That Demon didn't have an exotic combo but it sure ran good.

I really wasn't anti trailer till I watched this year from the sidelines. changing Doors was just a little to much for me and I said, Well Larson is trying to make a point. Then I saw pictures of a nice red station wagon that had had a trailer.
I always stuck up for the trailer thing before saying it put wear and tear on the car but...
a station wagon! come one

While I agree with you on the aspect of changing doors
is what I call over the edge but thats just me and
in that case the trailer was part of it... but no
where in the rules does it say that you cant change
the doors.. I just didnt understand the reasoning to
do it(unless they felt they didnt seal enough and
rain could pour in.. JMO).. also I believe that there
is a rule that says that the trailer cant contain
items in it to run the engine thats in the car.. as
in the fuel system and a charging system... thats
why Larson picked up a small gen and used a charger
when the charging system died but I gather the gen
and charger were on strapped on the truck(I dont
know for fact where it was)
