I know of a very good deal on an all aluminum ATC 40' w/small sleeping quarters, shower and toilet. Very nice trailer worth the money. I would have bought it had I not already ordered new. Good luck with your search, remember for the dragster little or no beavertail and get the dropped axles, and extra height helps (longer door). 8) JB

That works if you don't have a dragster dolly. I built a dolly that you put under the nose of the dragster, it lifts the dragster about 18" off the ground in the front and has two tires. I bought a little trailer dolly from Checker and adapted it for my son's dragster. Works great, and you don't hardly have to raise the nose of the trailer and the beaver tail is no problem either.

I know I asked for the info a few years ago.
I finally pulled the trigger on a new trailer a few weeks ago.
28ft Interstate Super Coach with a few upgrades should be done first week in April
