I know the Race Tow Rigs are really something now, some are big enough to live in 24/7. But this was one of the Top of The Bunch back in yesteryear. At one time I worked designing and building Sailplane Trailers and this one is an exact copy of a Sailplane trailer except smaller. It held both of my Singles and all equipment.

It wasn't like the Tow Rigs of today

Posting from my Daughter
Yes I am, but I can't run to push you back to the starting line after your awesome and long burnouts..Whew! Definitily couldn't do that, I'm already out of breath just thinking about it...You'd have to do the burnout against the truck like when you first started to show off. Dad loved to give the spectators a show.....And boy did he.... Actually, I loved when you were able to be towed past the spectators to start the bike, do the burnout against the truck (Bike so powerful, that you pushed the truck!!! And we were able to go down and get you, to let you know how fast you went. Towed you up to where we were in the pits with that pearl white truck with the gold leaf lettering.........Those were the best drag racing days ever. Didn't we used follow you down the strip sometimes to get you at Irwindale Drags...?
