Can anyone tell me which wiring converter is being used for the trailer lights?

Any trailer place can make one. Doesn't have to be as fancy as Nick's. They also use a similar frame and wheels. What goes on top is up to you.

Any 4 pin harness will work, the only issue is finding 12v+ constant in the back, which you can get from the interior.

Fanciest thing about mine is it's custom built for me. Fits what I want in it. Over the years I've found that the more crap you bring to the track, the more crap you need to pack up. The only real upgrade I have is the biggest wheels/tires- easier on the bearings.

I'm not going to lie. Yours is very very expensive comparatively. It's very nice, but pricey.

These cars cost $100K+ new. It's all relative, no? At least it's not the price of a 27' enclosed plus dually...

A slightly better pic, at the Walmart near Road America.

Just cause the car is expensive doesn't mean I'm going to start making it rain at the trailer dealer

I do like your fancy pants rims tho!

What is total weight on your rig loaded with tires and stuff?

Trailer weighs about 370lb empty, so that plus gear... Around 700lbs loaded- wheels, small tool kit, lightweight jack and jp jack stands.

Mine is about 500 empty, so they're close. Yours has much better aero though. No drag with the low profile. I def prefer your design.

I thought about going your route but ultimately I wanted less weight on the bumper. I'm sure more would have been fine but as long as I'm under what others are pulling I'll definitely be good.

Thanks!

The really cool thing is once I move to FL I can load it up with a kart, hook it to my TReg, and do day trips to OGP without buying another enclosed trailer or pickup. For me it's quite useful, but maybe not for others.

Mine could be lower. It's wasted space up top.

The tire trailer makes it very tempting to go down the slick, slippery slope to, uh.. slicks...
