Race trailer "Fitting"

Before winter sets in I wanted to make sure this race trailer idea was more than just a vision.  In my head, the construction of the trailer made me think that it would be a good fit.  Fortunately it worked out. Went through the process of loading and securing the car to the trailer.
Measuring the trailer tongue weight.

It's important to have the correct tongue weight.  With the trailer empty it's around 475 lbs.  With the car it's 350 lbs.  Once I load up the box that should bring it to 550 lbs.  I'm look for 500- 650 lbs.

I have to relocate a couple of the tie down pickup points.
But overall it turned out better than I had imagined.  Still have to
take a road test.
