I just bought a Formula Mazda in January 2012, and currently store it at a shop at a racetrack. I do not own a truck and trailer, and in fact, have never owned a truck in my life--I have always been a sports car guy.
I need to purchase a tow vehicle and a trailer. My questions are about the trailer. I want to get the smallest trailer that I can get away with, but that will fit my needs. I doubt my towing skills and don't want to deal with anything bigger than I have to. I also will have to rent a place store the truck and trailer because I don't have room for them in the garage of my condo, so the smaller the trailer, the smaller the rental space. I also would like to spend as little as I can, but don't want to buy a piece of crap.
I will be transporting the FM, one or two extra sets of wheels mounted with tires, probably another 4 unmounted tires, and a relatively small amount of tools and spare parts. I definitely want an enclosed double-axle trailer.
So what size trailer should I buy, and what extra features do I need? Steel or aluminum? What kind of brakes and accessories are essential?
And does anybody in Southern California have such a trailer for sale?
