Leaving a trailer w/ car on it on the Salt ...
« on: June 24, 2013, 11:40:36 PM »
I'm attending the WoS event to help out with an entry, I'm also going to have a car & trailer that I am bringing with me from TN. and dropping it off in So. Cal. after the event.

Does anyone know if it would OK or Not to leave ( store ) the loaded trailer next to the pit of the entry during the event ?

Its a beat up old Baja Bug that belongs to a friend and I'd rather leave it on the Salt rather than at the Hotel parking lot.

TIA

I can't see any reason why it would be a problem. Anyway it's not a car your "storing", it's your pit vehicle that happened to break down  :wink:
Records or parts, I didn't come all this way not to break something.

Anything and everything is taken out to the pits for storage and use during an event.  It would be 100 times safer than leaving it in town. 
Just have your buddy stake out a bigger pit area so you have plenty of room.  :cheers:

If that beat up ole' Baja Bug has an engine in it, Burly will try to convince you to run it the the 130club. You've been warned  :cheers:
