Killed another with the trailer

I was headed out to a local autox yesterday morning with the tire trailer in tow. A brand new Mustang GT in the lane next to me felt I started down the highway from the light a little briskly so he pulled a flyby. A mile up the road I caught him at the next red light. I caught his eye and revved the motor once. Upon green I proceeded to pull away from him the entire time until I shut it down at 70mph. At this point he performed another flyby. I'm sure he's convinced he won both times

If I was thinking I should have turned Geez! on so I could log the kill. That would have been hilarious

I just repacked the wheel bearings on the trailer and also changed the tire rack and the toolbox for a lower CG and less drag. It must go faster now

All you have to do to prove you've won is pull into their lane before you shut down.

Get the trailer a spoiler & some stickers for performance parts & stuff.

Then you can casually lean back and go, "Yea, I figure my trailer's probably putting down 200-250 to the wheels."

Haha. I should find a fake blower for the top of the toolbox. Then I could put some headers on the sides

Don't forget to put on the ubiquitous carbon fiber overlays on your trailer for that mental weight reduction.

And just another idea, ever thought out putting on sideskirts on your trailer?

It would be kinda funny to put wheelie bars on it... (could be used as supports for a ramp)

Get on Ebay and buy some of the fake stuff for 20 bucks... plastic intercooler, fake BOV, etc.

im just bored.
