Gary,

I didn't know the trailer used to be yours. Can you tell me when you bought it? I'm just curious as to how old it is. Did you ever have the wheels come loose? When I got it all the lug nuts were just barely tight, like 10 lbs of torgue, or so.

I found out the first time I used it to take my car to Hallett to race that my truck isn't heavy enough for the trailer. I had quite an incident on the interstate at 70 mph. It started shaking, then swerving side to side, actually pulling my truck several feet side to side as well. I finally just had to lock up the brakes and let it slide to a stop, which included a 180 degree spin out for both truck and trailer. God must have been watching over me that day, because I didn't even get a scratch on either the truck or trailer. But, I can tell you I don't ever want to do that again. I thought both were going to roll over before I could get it stopped.

And you were right on the tires, they are 325/50/15's.

Do you live in the Dallas area? I'd love to meet you some time. I have a good friend there that I go visit once in a while (he's a friend of John Russell.). Call me some time if there's something going on that I might want to bring the car down for. You can reach me at (405)623-2690 (cell), or (405)495-6226 (Home).

Let's go fast...

Ted
