What trailer do you use?

And a couple more (minor) points to consider -

Get a trailer that's wired with a receptacle for an external generator hookup. You'll want the ability to be able to plug in lights/power tools inside while at the track.

And if you contemplate spending any considerable time at the track in summer months (especially in the south), get one with (or have aftermarket installed) one of those small roof mounted air conditioners made for trailers. The inside of 'em can get really hot in the summer sun. And they're a godsend for cooling off after a race/practice session at places like Road A/Memphis RP/Carolina MSP/etc. where there's no shade and the temps are in the upper 90s. Trust me on this. ;)

my temp fix is an insulated roof (flexible styrofoam sheets) and 2 big fans. and lots of ice.

next step is an AC unit, probably a portable one though, with heating. that i can also use in the garage.

i have a plastic shelf in the front left corner, fits 6 clear plastic bins for gear, spares, camping stuff, etc. the spare and jack are still running free on the right front, they need the quickest access.
behind the rack is the toolbox, a small one. the 1199 still fits behind all that, and the SV is always on the right. there i installed a flip down board, where i keep my documents and snacks during the day or the gas grill.

i also upgraded to a 12x12 ez-up for plenty of shade and just recently bought a 6500W generator.

the trailer fits a queen air mattress perfectly when the bikes are out, still with the toolbox in. was thinking about a fold down bed solution above the bikes, but that would get tight with the thick air mattress.

with the more recent V-necks you get some extra space, there are nice shelving solutions available.

the 6x12 is becoming packed with 2 bikes, the generator, compressor, toolbox and the GROM, haven't tried fitment yet, one of the listed will probably have to stay at home.

Most of the roof mount A/C units are dual purpose (heat/cool). Heat very handy for those early season dates at Little Tally ("Worlds Largest Go-Cart Track") that WERA is prone to run.
I remember one year (1999? 2000?) Vito and I loaded up the trailer after season opener and it started sleeting that evening on the way back to Atl. Yeah. it was cold.
