Last time (after meeting Mr. Tirewall) the car was 6" shorter than when I started. Jerry Aplass SRF #204 San Francisco Region "Straights are for fast cars. Turns are for fast drivers." - Colin McRae

Since I just setup the trailer and installed new e-track to tie down... roughly 12'4" overall; if going nose to tail and pressed for space remember that the nose of the back car can tuck slightly under the one in front.

I was able to get 2 tied down and not close enough to touch (without straps coming loose) in 24' of overall space, which leaves me 15', just barely enough for the RX7s or GT1 car and plenty for a Spec Miata and a moped.

I was looking up this thread for a friend looking at trailers, and saw my snarky and unhelpful answer above. The SRF Gods subsequently showed me that my SRF could be made much shorter. :ugeek:

PS: Has anyone looked into whether you can get an SRF into one of those "Toy Hauler" trailers? They're made for ATVs and dirt bikes, so the question is whether they could handle the length and weight of the SRF, and if they have ramps that are gradual enough to unload.

Most of them seem to have pretty high ground clearance and would need a ramp extension. I checked out a garage RV with a lift gate, it was too short. Dave Harriman "It looks crazy, I understand.
