Nice looking hauler.  I have something similar slowly working/lurking in the back of my mind.  BTW, my butt is not hurt by this post, after all Martinsville, Bristol, and Richmond are all short tracks.

Great job on a beautiful rig and car, Jim!!!  Always cool to see some pics of "real" NASCAR builds and how they made it to the track.  They kind of put the fans off when everyone went to enclosed trailers and you couldn't identify with the car or driver any longer.  I guess I'm too old skool to be kool, lol!!!😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎🏁

I hear ya', Greg...

Also remember at Ascot (Los Angeles, CA area) that when the sprints ran, no rigs were allowed to park in the pits, teams had to unload what they needed then move their rigs out behind the track. Now I don't remember the latter years as I did not make that many races prior to the track closing at the end of 1990...   :'( :'(

Charlie I scratch built the sleeper along with the ramp bed , I know the sleeper s not 100% right the real sleeper had vents on the sides of them , I didn't care to add those , but to me it looks good

 Thanks everyone for the great comments on my builds it means alot to me coming from all the great builders on this forum !!
