track day trailer update.
Hi all and thanks for the feedback on the previous thread.
To date the team and I have been investigating things further.
What would the folks say to a small trailer. Just big enough for a sevenesque car. Quick release (probably bolts) jockey and carrying wheels.
Four wheel layout.
Two braked.
With the ability to be used as a raised work platform, you could get under, when not a trailer.
Would possibly have a similar leg system to that hammerlift but not using ladder jacks, think they are a bit rickety.
Could have a range of add-ons like tool box carrying etc.
What do the track day guys think. Could a trailer/mobile ramp be usefull at track days etc.
Feedback always appreciated.
P.S. would anyone be interested in a towing dolley?
Happy building.

HI,
just to let you know, if your building a four wheel trailer, all four wheels have to be braked, only having 2 braked makes it illegal.

You are very right. Just looked into the legal bumf. Its the parking brake that only has to do two wheels.

Would be interested in the track day trailer. Preferably with a total length no more than 14'10". Have you looked into any costs yet. It
might be a good idea to have a common trailer bed that will take either single or twin axle. I personally have no problem with single axle but lots of
people do. It would help to keep costs down for some.
I'm not sure how legal the towing dolly would be. Thought they were only to be used for vehicle recovery these days. I may be wrong about that
though.
Ben.

Your right, a towing dolly is only legal for recovery, and up to a max speed of 40mph on motorways and dual carriageways, and 20mph everywhere
else(Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 (Schedule 6).
