This kind of fits here, but maybe not really. Anyways, we are needing to buy a 2 car open trailer before next race season. However, finding one used is proving to be more of a task than I had hoped, and I can't seem to find many people that list them new either. I found one company that builds them, but they are in Texas. I have no problems with buying a new one, but I would rather not have to drive to Texas to pick it up, or pay to have it delivered from that far away (which appears to be cheaper than driving out there to get it.)I think we need one that is 38-40' long, preferably a gooseneck. And, which would be better for our application, dual 7k pound axles, or dual 10k pound axles? Combined weight of the cars should be less than 6200 lbs (really should be around or just under 5800 lbs.)

Mine came from J&B Trailer in Elkhart IN.
