Thanks Mahk! I finally pulled my head out of my ass and hooked the trailer jack up to the 12v hot in the trailer wiring's junction box coming from the truck's bumper. I also did some testing w/ the rear hatch, because there was some concern it might hit the much taller electric jack. On the WD...

BEHOLD MY ERECTION! No wait, that can't be right... You can kinda see the source of the height issue here. With the tow pig up higher on the flat, the ball hanging off the back is higher up off the pavement. With the old trailer I could roll another 4-ish feet back, which effectively lowered...

I started a new "build" thread for anyone interested :) 20' Enclosed Race Trailer "Build"

Grabbed a tongue box and BigAss(tm) Deep Cycle battery to run the winch, electric jack and lights:

If there's spillage at the cap, and the cap looks wonky, I'd say for the tenner it'll cost you, replace the cap just in case. Seems plausible enough

I replaced the breakaway cable because the one on there was super frayed (and poked you in the fingertips every time you went to move it). Once I took the electrical tape off, frayed wasn't even really close to being the issue. It's basically a broken knotted mess. So, into the trash it went...

Figure out what's leaking and replace that part. But I'm betting you guessed that. Pull the tank, make sure it's not cracked, then check the radiator itself (you said there's some spillage at the cap, but is there fluid in the rad?) and all the hoses.

First thing was getting it home from SC and making sure I can park the damn thing. Parking the 16' trailer on the hill to my shop wasn't TOO bad. This is...well, a little sketchier. Because the trailer is 4' longer than the old one, the Armada sits further up on the flat part of the driveway...

Figured this would be an ok place to talk about building out the new-to-me race trailer. With the kids getting to about the right age for it, we've added a Kart to the fleet, and very quickly realized we'd be able to take either the race car, or the kart, but not both. A buddy of mine had just...

If you use Google Maps or Waze, you should be able to punch in "Chasing the Dragon Hill Climb Start Line" and it'll take you there https://goo.gl/maps/8q8w1qDy9oe1h3gy6

I (maybe... :D ) look forward to that!

Awww yiss :D Picked up the "new" hotness today :D 20', will fit the car and the kart, has A/C (that runs off the 2000w genny that I already have, don't need to upgrade that!) and an awning, and will be a nice little track camper too (and has 'camper' style leveling jacks at the rear. I should...

Picking up a used 20' enclosed (WITH AC!!!) from a racing buddy this weekend :D

She was a faithful companion and had served me well, but it was time that the ol trailer moved on to another member of the motorsports family <3

Are you down in NC now? If so, come down to the Hill Climb in August!

That VC is super pimp :D Unsolicited advice guy here: If it's all over the top, it's either your valve cover gasket or the Cam Angle Sensor O-ring. The CAS O-rings are a super common failure point. If it's under the car on the trans, it's probably your rear main seal, which you'll want to...

That bike looks rad as hell!

Near as I can tell after reading a bunch (of conjecture, mostly) about it, it's the lines that seem to be an 'issue'. And I put that in quotes because I know people who have used regular ass rubber fuel hose for *years* with E85 without issue. If it's anything remotely new and modern you should...

Not right away, but that is part of the mid-term future plan :).

This is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
