Bought this one from my engine builder/race buddy. It was his racer chaser. I bugged him for 14 years before he agreed to sell it.

Currently approaching the quarter-million mile mark.

Keith that is a twin to my trailer. Looks like a nice combo.

This was at the NMCA race at Indy last year.

I don't know anything about it beyond what you see in the photo.

That hauler is Bruce Litton’s. Top Fuel driver and owner of Litton Trailer Sales right across from the entrance to Lucas Oil Raceway in Indy. Here it is with a cool 65 Nova on board.

Ah! I wish I knew that at the time; I would have spoken to him.

I got my Haulmark from that location, back in 2001. Excellent to deal with.

Sidebar:

You know how when you are at the races and you see these enclosed trailers and they are all banged up?

I vowed I would not be that guy. I was going to keep my trailer nice and straight, and in good shape overall.

I was able to keep my vow until we stopped for fuel on the way home. Pulling out of the Shell station in Perry Michigan I drug the back of it coming out onto the roadway.

I hadn't even made it home with my new trailer before I had to fix the back corner.
