I was in my first one last September. Absolute blast, the most fun I've ever had doing anything. Ours was pretty tame to most, but the race track just started doing them a couple of years ago and they're still working out the kinks and figuring it all out.
I ran a 95 Chevy 1500 W/T with the 4.3 V6. Didn't do too bad on the straights but didn't have the balls to get up the embankment in those times I needed to. I was pulling a trailer made out of an old Datsun 620 bed. Nice and heavy, took a beating, but the wheel studs snapped off of both sides and I was black flagged.
Here's some videos from my race:
Interior View:
Spectator View:
And I also did the Flag Pole race which was a blast too.
i highly recommend doing it. Keep an eye on my YouTube channel, I'll have videos from this season too because i just bought my own GoPro.
Good luck, and enjoy!

Definitely a blast to run in. I highly recommend them. They had them for the first time at Illinois State Fair last year. Search YouTube for: 2012 Illinois State Fair Boat and Trailer Races.

best trailer race around to run and watch is 141 speedway in Wis. . Lots of trailers! Best part . NO black flags . Lose your trailer, you dont get black flagged stay on the track, and keep smashing!!

Some things that have happened to me in trailer races...
Got a jet ski (my own) wedged under my front tire and lifted me off the track.
Drove through the back of a boat (mine) and skipped across the infield inside the boat.
Had a camper peal open and cover my car. Pitch black!!!
Completed 2 laps with a matress on my hood after driving through a camper.
Got hit so hard in the drivers door that the door was inside the car.
So, yes. Lots of fun ;D

My first one ended 1 lap into it as I was stuck on top of a couch. |
