Rick,

You should aim for 10% to 15% of the trailer weight on the tongue.

Andy,

Thanks for your perspective. I'll have to try taking a deep breath and realizing that I can't influence whatever happens at LRP. Let's hope that Palmer and Thunderbolt are up and running...

Andy,

It is sickening because it completely destroys the character of a track that you, I and many others know and love.

Do you really believe that we will still be allowed to run the old...

I found the following on the Production forum. If true, this is truly sickening.

My brand new Sears jack leaks everywhere. II don't think it's a bleed-down issue, rather the seals are blown... Considering the online reviews on the Sears website, it seems to happen alot.

Wasn't it a condition of getting the ALMS contract that Lime Rock had to repave the track during the period of the 3 year contract?

What would you think about getting a dually if it was going to be your daily driver? I assume parking will be a real chore. Are tollbooths and parking garages difficult?

I have an extra room at the Danville Comfort Inn for the 13 Hour weekend if anyone is interested. Room is a nonsmoking double from 10/20 to 10/24. Rate is approx. $530 for the entire stay. Contact...

Jake,
You only get a trans temp gauge in the 3/4 ton models.

Glenn & Bill,

My condolences for your losses. I was there & think all the time about how lucky I am. I thought NASCAR did a really incredible job on Saturday night doing the 9/11 ceremony.

You can always try tying a shop rag to a stick...

Michael,

How much would the new trailer weigh? I think you're already at the limit of what that combo can handle. I used to tow a 20' enclosed trailer approx. 7K lbs with a 99 1/2 Suburban...

Hey,

I'd really like 1 of those checklists too!

If you are using an open trailer, you might want to consider backing the tow vehicle up a set of ramps (like the kind you use for oil changes). This will reduce the angles that a low ground...

Try www.pitpal.com. They sell a hinged foldup ramp extender. I bought it and think it works well.

Newspaper reports speculated that the head injury was caused by shrapnel. NHRA has announced that effective at the next race weekend, roll cage shielding & a new spec rear tire will be required.

Thanks for all the input. Mark, do you have an AC or DC powered model?

I looked in to getting a front mounted hitch (02 Burban), but the truck is so damn big that I don't have enough clearance to be able to manuver. What I hope to do is turn the trailer 180 degrees in...

Does anyone have any experience using a powered trailer dolly to move/park a trailer? I'm trying to turn around & park a 24' enclosed trailer in a space too small to allow the truck to move it.
