notice alot of the american trailers are a flat deck type trailer, whereas the aussie ones mainly have the tie rails up the sides.
Went to the drags at Willowbank a couple of weeks ago and couldnt get over the amount big $$ race cars on $1000 hunkashit trailers. i suggested to the scrutineers maybe they should be inspecting the trailers, not the race cars.
