If you are thinking of putting a trailer behind an Ultima.......................don't!

I think you are talking about Jim in America who is entering the One Lap of America Event, 7 days 3,425 miles. That includes some of the most famous race tracks in America. You have to carry everything without outside assistance for road & track work:

Good luck Jim!

Sorry peeps, I forgot to paste the photo in my opening post.
As Jim says it's Jim Nelson in the USA doing a tour. I imagine that only in the US will you get away with this...

Nice photo.

I'll take a few more from different profiles. It's a little larger then what I set out to make but it will work. I added the V front part to split the air. Now I need to sticker it up. The box is made of Aluminum railing from a company called 80/20. The panel is Alumalite (two thin sheets of Aluminum with a composite corrugated center, 6mm thick and very strong).

I leave on Thursday to drive to the Tire Rack facility, 700 miles to get to the start of the event. I hope to finish the event and at least get middle of the pack overall.

typical, I'm getting prepared and I'm looking the car over and cleaning and notice a piece of metal sticking out of the CV boot metal cover. I took it apart to find a piece of the CV joint cage broke off. I'm glad I noticed it before the heaving usage.

If anyone has Twitter and you want to follow the info and photos I post, follow me at 2001UltimaGTR

Jim,

Lucky you saw the drive shaft before leaving!

Have a great event and drive safe. Keep us posted.

Loving the trailer! Would be great to hear how you get on - keep us posted!

All, I returned home on Sunday, ~4,700 miles. Could not tell there was a trailer being towed. The event was a lot of fun stuffing 8 track days into 8 days.

Was it you who had the broken suspension? If so how did you get going again.

Steve, No, there was another Ultima in the event where a front upright broke. Unfortunately, I didn't have a spare for them with me and the other Ultima team had to drop out.
