I looked for 2 or 3 years for an affordable,used enclosed trailer.
There was absolutely nothing out there, with 5,200 pound axles, under $6,000.
And at that price, it needed some major TLC.

It is difficult and expensive to get race car insurance and I did not want to trust my investment to a trailer which was not 100% roadworthy.

Hence, the open trailer.
The trailer was $3,400, brand new, and included a spare tire and a winch mount.
I have another $500 in the winch, battery and battery box.

I tow with a 2011 Ram, regular cab, short box, 4x4 and do not even know that trailer is there most of the time.

There is also a certain cool factor in towing a race car to the track on an open trailer.
That was evidenced just by the number of thumbs-up I got on the 7+ hours drive home, from Montreal, with the car.
