BTW, Ted's diaphragm inside his wastegate actuator can was torn. I tested and verified it (passenger side with the offset wastegate arm/rod).

Nothing good comes from a torn diaphragm.

That's a nice aluminum trailer - what's the gross weight on that?

Put the new grills to the test...

Gross weight is 7,000 lbs and the trailer weighs about 1,100 by itself, so net capacity is about 5,900 lbs.

It is a really great upgrade from my old steel trailer with the wood deck boards. I sold that one a couple years ago after about 10 years of use for about 85% of what I paid for it new.

This one is all aluminum with torsion axles, dovetail deck, integrated ramps, brakes on both axles, and a removable fender (which it turns out I didn’t need). I’m very happy with it.

Yeah, that's really nice - mine is enclosed, weighs 6000lbs and requires a 1 ton to pull it...

Ahhh, dare to dream!

Good luck at the track!

My trip was uneventful, but when I got here today I hear that one of the event staff coming from the north had been in a fatal accident a couple days ago. Very sad news...
