FB/FX / Big Kat - Thanks for working on the trailer. I have a plan drawn up with the dimensions that you had given me. I don't think it will take much material and I should have almost everything but 5 2x6's or 10 2x4's at 14'.

My plan is to put the barriers on the oustside and make two racks that we can load the carpet on. Each roll has a cardboard tube in side the carpet. We can cut a 2x to fit tight into the tube and anchor. The ends would be made of 16" x 80" 3/4" plywood that would be notched to hold the board in the tube. Once loaded, we would put a board over the end that locks them inplace. The back side of the rack could be an X brace or solid plywood. This should also leave a walkway between the carpet that we can put the scaffolding in after everything else has been loaded. We can put the cones, blowers, corner parts, barrel with hose and pump in the front. If I can get the cad drawing converted to a pdf, I'll post it here for any other thoughts.

If you could bring the new trailer to my shop in FC after the race in Greeley on Sunday, I'm sure I could get some help to get it built out and loaded prior to first carpet race. This will also allow me to un-load the open trailer, if we use it to go to Omaha.

I've got the carpet stored in the warehouse, so no issue with moving it until the trailer is ready for it.
