Mooty: I guess this is the same as pjs- yes 17000 lb capacity but my truck with weight distribution is limited to 16000 lbs
your trailer will never need 17000 but over margin in safety is good.
look at pjs 24' hitch receviever on the TPD, it's for 30,000 lbs. i tend to over due things hahaha

sorry dude, your track maps are not of the same scale and the big poster needs to have more tapes, it's not FLAT...

you need a pulley next to cloth hanger than i can remote winch max and hang him on the hanger should he misbehave again.

Where do you put the car after a track weekend. That trailer is way to nice to put a dirty car in.

I travel with a harem of 6 19 year old coeds. They wash the car before it goes in the trailer at the end of the weekend. The massages between sessions are nice too!

Wow, that's much more "real estate" than expected!

Your pic sorta reminds me of my local Discount Tire...lots of racks and lots of tires...nice!

Thanks for the pic Mooty; I was thinking folks here were referring to the 2 wheeled dolly version to load/carry "only" 4 wheels/tires. Your pic blew me away.

You must run through lots of......nitrogen...

Poor man's version- $150ish

Rock N Roller Multicart Model R8 Mid by Rock-N-Roller Permalink: http://amzn.com/B003AYL92G

500 pound capacity- rollers with locks on front casters- You can adjust the length easily. It transforms into a million different configurations without tools. Did I mention $150?

I did not want shore beams, or a tire rack in my new trailer due to the fact everyone knocks themselves out on them. Then you have to unload them all the time. I figured I needed a cart, but not those stupid expensive ones. I found this and it works perfectly.

They even make different sizes if you want to carry even more/less, but they all have adjustments.
Mine is the R8 and I just tie it down to some D rings in the rear. It is not going anywhere. Those are 275/50 R15's and 245/50 R15's Hoosier R6's for scale.... Heavy bitches.

I built a rack a few years back, holds 2 sets of tires, nitrogen bottle, 2 jacks and stands. Pretty easy project for anyone with a welder:
