It can be a real challenge finding a trailer for your race car on a budget. It helps to know in advance what your needs are and then stick to a budget before you go shopping. There are a lot of fancy trailers out there that are very expensive, but they might not meet your needs.
However, with a little research, you can find an affordable trailer that will do everything you need. You can spend some time at a racing track looking at other racers’ trailers and asking them questions. Searching the Internet, classified ads and going to a few sales lots is also helpful. The first concern with trailering a race car is its ground clearance. Race cars tend to be low to the ground and may have front spoilers, so account for this when choosing.
As a result of the above, a shallow angle loading platform is necessary. An issue with the usual budget car hauler trailer is that the deck is relatively high, creating a steep loading angle.
A steel frame is stronger, heavier and cheaper and can be welded up at any truck stop along the highway. Whereas an aluminum frame is lighter, more expensive, and more difficult to repair.
