Yea, my street car has been over 100 on my open trailer behind my motorhome a few times. Only in Utah, no signs, no cops, no nothing but wide open pavement! Why not??!!

Thanks Jason, I just get bored after awhile, I've received some amazing trade offers. I decided on one of them and it has been a long process, starting to wonder if it's even gonna happen.

My new Hemi Ram and box trailer was an expensive pain in the butt for someone like me that goes to the track 5 times a year, now I have a cheap used Durango and used open trailer, much easier!

Re: Who has the fastest car on a open car trailor? - 01/17/11 02:34 AM
i paid $900.00 for my open trailer 14yrs ago..
got my moneys worth time and again..
its been behind my truck 4days a week for work
its seen 6 sets of tires
its on its 2nd set of shackles
ive replaced the tongue twice ..wore right through the steel...on the ball hitch..
ive greased the original timkin bearings countless times..infact if i lift a wheel and spin it by hand..it will rotate for almost 2 minutes..
this trailer towed every car ive owned over the past 14 yrs..it towed the duster home to the paint shop,chassis shop,and to every event the car has run..from Ga.to fla. to Pa.,NJ.,tenn.,ohio,ky,ala,De,Va,Nc,Sc,Il. often more than twice...in a yr.
i am hypothisising. but its got over 100,000 maybe as much as 150k..my truck has 130k on it now and my other truck had 80k on it when i bought this trailer ...it had 180k when i sold it
and bought this truck...that doesnt account for milage from lending it out..
its due for fenders this yr.and maybe paint if I feel like it..
been more reliable than a dog...
if it could talk it would have Quite a few stories to tell..a few doozies also...

My Duster has not turned a tire in over two years, supposedly
it was a mid 12 second bracket car maybe 10 years ago.
Open trailer has been up and down the west coast many times
hauling cars, my diesel truck gets about 15 mpg towing, will
probably drop to 10-11 mpg with my 9'-11" cab over camper
(2700lbs) added to the mix.

I agree. Been thinking about going back to an open myself. Enclosed are nice but they are a PITA( fuel cosumption, storage fees, insurance etc etc)
Plus with an enclosed you don't get all the thumbs up going down the highway like you you do with an open

As much as I hate to break it to you Ed, The Lagana's have you covered by quite a bit. Granted they retired this ramp truck about 10 years ago but I would bet big $ their 4.87 @ 302 is going to be the "all time speed and ET record" for a car on an open trailer!

That's just crazy there, better watch out for low overpasses.
That reminds me of the time we transported my 286" alky dragster on my buddies ladder racks. Although the car was bare, just chassis tubes, wish I had a picture. lol

FWIW,
4 years ago I sold a 49' Gold Rush enclosed trailer setup to race a alcohol car. It was too big to haul my muscle car and knew I was gonna take a few years off racing. It was too much $$ to leave sit around. Man am I glad I sold it before the ecomemy sank. I bought it used and used it for 6 years and sold it for what I paid for it. I did add stuff to it like a 44'awning, pit fans, lights and stuff like that. But dang lucky that I sold it when I did, because I really wanted to keep it.
Then I bought a open trailer from a neighbor and fiqured I'd use it for around town hauling with my dually.
Then I decided why not pull it behind my huge toterhome when we use the toterhome as a RV for summer vacations. I couldn't sell my toterhome, it one of a kind.
Like somone said about the thumbs up while going down the highway. Almost everyone is smiling at us because of the old car on the trailer. It's lot's more fun pulling the open trailer because of everyones reaction. And for as big as the toterhome is, I don't think we are paying a penatly in fuel milage pulling the open trailer.(we have 505hp on tap)
I've pulled my used tilt bed trailer now about 40K
miles now and no trouble yet.
But if I was racing, I would want the enclosed.
Now I can load in the driveway at home.
