Looking for an enclosed trailer
Just got a track car, an 3 yr old Koni car w/ no windows so I'm looking for a nice enclosed trailer. What do you guys recommend. I think I want full roof height so I'm looking for something other than a trailex. I have an 8045 if anyone wants to talk trade. What length and options should I be looking for? Thanks.

^^^^ What he said.
I have a 36 foot gooseneck than I actually can deliver to the VA area since I have a trip planned there in the next month or so.

My company has sold Pace American for 15 years.
Good company. Solid aftersales support and the best warranty administration by far of all the companies we deal with. Good product and good people.
You guys would like the owner ... he's one of us.

If I were to run with the 36 I'd put a lift back in it so I could bring the FC and a smaller doorslammer if I wanted to bring 2 cars or have one car and lots of room for whatever else.

Pace does make great trailers. I almost bought a Daytona until I found out about Millenium trailers.
I ended up buying one like this...

I have a Featherlight and am happy with my choice. I think a 24' is about right for a single car for a guy who supports himself. The Featherlight does not need sway control and is available with heavy duty axles. I can't say enough good things about the trailer.

I'm guessing that my suggestion of Hefty bags and duct tape didn't quite work out?????

I have a Thule 24' and am very happy with it. Great value for the quality. If I were to do it over again, though, I would buy a used trailer that someone else had fully set up. Like a track car, much more economical than doing the build yourself...

I have several race cars without windows (and one without windows, doors, roof or windshield), but on any given day, I might be using the open trailer or the enclosed trailer.
It's fairly easy to construct removable lexan or plexi "window inserts" that can be used purely as "towing windows". Added benefit - you don't have to set up a canopy if the weather is crappy and there are no garages available.
Go to friendly neighborhood hardware store. Ask for a couple pieces cut into squares slightly larger than you need for each window. Make cardboard template, or use a borrowed stock window to mark out a pattern on the plastic stock. Cut with slow-speed jig-saw or air body-saw. Add "tabs" & "stops" to keep your new plastic windows from falling "down" or "in", and some kind of lanyard or bungee-tie to keep them tensioned snugly to the frame when installed.
I've just saved you $10,000 to $50,000....depending on how much of a tow vehicle you'd need to buy with whatever enclosed trailer you'd have dragged home. Please forward check for 5% of that amount immediately. Once received, I'll feed you other money-saving gems on a similar commission-basis.
You're welcome.
