REAL TRAILERS. REAL LIFE.
The Problem and the Promise
Race day logistics leave no room for a trailer that does not fit the car. A deck two feet too short. An interior height that scrapes your roll cage on load-in. A dealer who has never loaded a race car and cannot answer basic questions about axle ratings or E-track configurations.
These problems cost you time and money before you ever reach the track.
Wrong trailer size means rushed loading and compromised tie-down positions. Dealer inexperience means missed specs and features you needed but did not know to ask for. Hidden fees at signing turn a quoted price into something else entirely.
A poorly fitted trailer is not a minor inconvenience. It is a problem you solve in a parking lot at 6 AM on race day when you should already be through the gate.
Northwest Rides stocks race trailers ready to go. Current inventory includes configurations from Haulmark, Alcom, and Diamond Cargo sized for full-size race cars with proper interior clearance, E-track floors, and electrical packages. For teams with specific interior requirements, custom builds start at 208rides.com/build-a-trailer.
Race Trailer Types We Carry
Different cars, different teams, and different event schedules need different setups. Here is what we stock and build.
Enclosed Race Car Trailers
An enclosed race trailer keeps your car shielded from road debris, weather, and unwanted attention between events. Enclosed trailers offer maximum protection from elements, road debris, and theft, serving as a mobile workshop or long-term storage. Enclosed trailers offer high security for transporting valuable vehicles, tools, and equipment.
Stock units from Haulmark, Alcom, and Diamond Cargo are available across multiple configurations. Standard features include:
- E-track floors for flexible tie-down positioning
- Escape doors for crew access without dropping the ramp
- Finished interiors
- Electrical packages with LED lighting
Entry-level options are available for buyers who need core race trailer functionality without a full EDGE or HEAT build. Race car trailer packages typically start at around $4,599 for 16’ to 24’ models and can go up to $6,499 for larger 38’ to 52’ models.
Simple load-and-haul functionality for weekend track day drivers. You load the car. The trailer handles the rest.
Race Car Haulers with Living Quarters and Cabinet Packages
For racers and teams who need more than floor space between sessions.
Finished interiors, cabinet packages, and wired-for-AC configurations turn a race trailer into a functional base of operations. Living quarters in trailers help reduce hotel costs during racing events. Vertical space in a trailer is essential for comfort and for practical storage solutions such as overhead racks.
- Haulmark EDGE line: insulated configurations with awning, torsion axles, and wired-for-AC in 8.5×24
- Haulmark HEAT line: finished interior, 30-amp electrical, and cabinet packages in 8.5×20 and 8.5×24
Call or text (208) 500-8700 to confirm current availability.
Pre-Owned Race Trailers
For buyers who want a purpose-built race trailer at a lower entry point.
Every pre-owned unit is pre-inspected before delivery to the same road-ready standard as new inventory. Brakes, tires, seals, lighting, and frame integrity checked before you take possession.
Call or text (208) 500-8700 for current pre-owned availability.
Custom Race Trailers
For teams whose setup does not fit a stock unit.
Custom options include:
- Specific interior layouts with dedicated tool storage
- Electrical packages sized to your equipment
- Spread axles for heavier builds
- Stacker configurations for multi-car teams
The build tool at 208rides.com/build-a-trailer is the starting point. Custom builds available for all competition levels.
What to Look for in a Race Trailer
Hauling a race car is not the same as hauling cargo. These are the specs that determine whether your setup works on race day.
Interior Height and Car Clearance
Measure your car with all accessories and safety equipment installed before selecting a trailer.
Standard trailers often fall short for lifted builds, roof cages, wing setups, and cars with significant ride height variation. Standard interior height in many enclosed trailers ranges between 6’6” to 6’10” (78” to 82”). That is not enough for many motorsports applications.
Northwest Rides stocks 7’6” interior height (90-inch) configurations across Haulmark and Alcom inventory. Custom build options available for taller requirements.
Deck Length and Car Fitment
Deck length must account for your car’s full length, plus room for tie-downs at both ends.
A deck too short puts your car at the ramp door. A deck too long adds dead weight without usable space.
Race trailers come in various sizes, typically ranging from 16 feet to over 52 feet in length, accommodating different vehicle types and quantities. Current inventory runs from 8.5×20 through 8.5×28 to cover a range of car lengths and team configurations.
Multi-car setups and teams carrying equipment alongside the car need both deck length and interior width confirmed before ordering. A beaver tail design or ramp extensions is recommended for low-slung cars to prevent scraping during loading.
Axle Rating and GVWR
A race car plus tools, spare parts, fuel, and equipment adds up fast. Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) must accommodate the vehicle plus heavy gear like tires, fuel, and tools.
- GVWR on most Haulmark and Bravo race trailers is rated at 9,990 lbs
- The Alcom Blaze 8.5×20 carries a 7,000 lb GVWR suited for lighter race car builds
- Tandem axles rated at 5.2k are standard for most full-size race car applications
- Spread axle configurations available for heavier builds
Race trailers are engineered with features like torsion axles in spread configuration, which improve ride stability and weight distribution for better handling on the road.
Call or text (208) 500-8700 to confirm the right axle setup for your car and your load.
E-Track and Tie-Down Configuration
Fixed tie-down points work for standard setups. Recessed E-track floors give you the flexibility to position straps exactly where your car’s frame or roll cage tie-down points require.
For modified cars, custom builds, or any car where factory tie-down points are not an option, the recessed E-track is the right spec. Secure tie-down systems, such as E-track, are recommended for safe vehicle anchoring during transport.
Northwest Rides stocks trailers with recessed E-track floors and 5K D-rings for maximum tie-down flexibility.
Electrical Packages and Shore Power
Running lights, charging equipment, air compressors, and tool setups between sessions all require reliable power.
- 30-amp electrical package with shore power hookup keeps your operation running without a generator
- Wired-for-AC configurations available on EDGE and HEAT line units for teams running long event weekends
- Integrated electrical packages with LED lighting and exterior floodlights improve night-time usability
Confirm your total wattage requirements before selecting an electrical package. Proper insulation and roof vents in trailers help manage temperature during long event days.
Escape Doors and Side Access
A rear ramp is how the car gets in. An escape door or side door is how your crew moves in and out without dropping the ramp every time.
Side access saves time and keeps the ramp door closed between sessions. Escape doors are a standard feature on most Northwest Rides race trailer configurations.
The Haulmark 8.5×20 car hauler with extra wide side door offers additional crew access for teams working on the car between runs.
Built for Every Racer
Weekend Track Day Drivers
You run a handful of events per season. Your car is a serious investment and you need a trailer that protects it on the haul, loads cleanly, and tows predictably.
Basic requirements met by stock enclosed units with the right interior height and tie-down setup. An enclosed race trailer keeps your car secure and road debris off the paint.
Pre-inspected inventory means the trailer is ready to go when you are.
Competitive Racers and Amateur Teams
Race day logistics require a trailer that keeps pace with the schedule.
Specific features needed:
- Extra tall clearance for wing setups and roof cages
- Recessed E-tracks and 5K D-rings
- Electrical packages for charging and lighting between sessions
The right trailer does not slow you down before you reach the gate.
Motorsports Teams and Multi-Car Setups
You are hauling more than one car or running a full support operation.
Multi-car hauling and full support operations require deck length, interior width, and tie-down configuration all confirmed before ordering. Stacker trailers use hydraulic or electric lifts to load vehicles vertically, enabling efficient space utilization. Stacker trailers can transport multiple cars in tiers but require heavy-duty tow vehicles.
Custom build considerations include:
- Stacker configurations
- Dedicated tool storage
- Interior layouts designed around how the team operates at an event
Call or text (208) 500-8700 and walk us through your setup.
Retired and Hobby Racers
You have earned the car and the time to run it. You want a trailer that is built right, priced honestly, and ready to use without a project.
Pre-inspected inventory and no-pressure sales process mean confidence from the first haul. Pre-owned options available for buyers who want a purpose-built race trailer at a lower entry point.
Brands We Carry
Haulmark Trailers
Haulmark is the primary brand in Northwest Rides race trailer inventory.
- EDGE line: insulated, awning-equipped, wired-for-AC configurations in 8.5×24
- HEAT line: finished interior, 30-amp, cabinet packages in 8.5×20 and 8.5×24
- Standard race trailer line: 8.5×20, 8.5×24, and 8.5×28 configurations with E-tracks, spread axles, and escape doors
Polycore panels and ArmorTech chassis coating hold up through regular track use and long highway hauls. The price of race trailers can vary significantly based on the materials used, such as premium grade plywood floors and steel tube main frame rails, which improve durability and protection.
Many race trailers feature a screwless, VHB-bonded exterior that offers a smoother finish and greater dent resistance compared to standard aluminum. Heavy-duty ‘truck body’ top rail extrusions are commonly used in race trailers to provide superior rigidity and structural integrity for long-haul strength.
Alcom Trailers
All-aluminum Triton line reduces trailer weight without sacrificing interior space or strength. Aluminum trailers are favored for their lightweight, corrosion-resistant properties, while steel trailers are more affordable.
2026 Alcom Triton 8.5×20 race car trailer with finished interior and premium escape door in stock. GVWR 7,000 lbs.
Lower GVWR suits lighter race car builds where trailer weight directly affects tow vehicle performance or payload margin. Strong availability of electrical upgrade options for race and competition setups.
Open trailers are more affordable and lighter, but do not provide weather or theft protection. For buyers who need full security on the road, an enclosed aluminum build offers the best combination of weight savings and protection.
Diamond Cargo Trailers
Strong value, versatile options, for buyers who are seeking premium options without paying premium prices.
Custom Race Trailer Builds
Build the Trailer Around Your Car and Your Team
A stock unit works for many race car haulers. But some setups do not fit standard configurations.
Cars that exceed standard interior height limits. Teams running stacker configurations. Buyers who need a specific interior layout with dedicated tool storage, workbench setups, and electrical configurations built around their event schedule. Many race trailers are designed with features such as upgraded lighting, larger axles, and reinforced loading ramps to meet the specific needs of racers.
The build tool is the starting point. Tell Northwest Rides what you are racing, how your team operates at an event, and what the car requires. That is the fastest way to get a build that works from the first race weekend.
Timeline expectations: custom builds typically take 4 to 12 weeks depending on specifications and manufacturer schedules. Factors influencing the cost of race trailers include size, customization options, and additional features such as upgraded lighting and improved structural integrity.

Joseph Garcia

Nothing but good things to say. The whole sales process was excellent. Pavel was so patient and easy to deal with. He answered and explained all my many questions. He made suggestions, but didn’t push anything. The only hard part was waiting for my build to be delivered 😁 Thanks Northwest Rides!
Vance Lubahn

Couldn’t be happier with the enclosed trailer I bought from northwest rides. I came from western Washington because they had exactly what I was looking for. Julia and Pavel were awesome to do business with. They had my trailer ready to go when I arrived and made the process a breeze. I would absolutely make the drive again! Thanks again!

Frequently Asked Questions
What size race trailer do I need?
