Trailering tie-down systems
« on: March 23, 2013 - 11:32:56 PM »
Hello guys,

I recently purchased a new trailer.  It's an enclosed 8.5'x20' v-nose trailer.  It came with d-rings in the four corners.  I'm wondering what you all have used before and had good luck with.  I'm new to hauling autos.

I'll be primarily hauling two cars in this trailer. 

-A 2009 Pontiac G8 to drag races.  It's a rear-wheel drive, independent rear-suspension car with very low front clearance.

-A 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A to shows.  This one you all know everything about.

The G8 doesn't have very good tie-down points, so probably a tire bonnet system would be better??

What do you guys think?  I'm open to installing some e-track if necessary.

Thanks for the help.

the best system is to mount a track to the floor & use the tire hold downs that strap the tire down , this will allow different wheel positions along the track & allow the suspension to still work

I agree and I haul cars almost everyday.
