i have a single 12x12. i was looking at doing something like this for a long time now. i like the ability to adjust its size and shape.

i looked at Harbor Freight already a couple months back w/ no luck.

I have a 10x20 canopy I haven't used in years. all you need are the corner fittings, a bunch of conduit, atarp, and the little bungee-things to secure it to the conduit.

If you like, I'll sell you what I have -- the bungee-things, the fittings and a tarp (though you may want something a little smaller.

I'll sell it cheap, since I'll probably never use it again.

I have one from Shelter Systems. Works great. Just heavy to carry around but I like it at the track.

From Crackhead Bill? Hell no. There is NOTHING on my car right now that is not either required by NASA or doesn't pay cash money/toyo bucks. I told Bill the same thing at Houston this year after taking both poles...."give me money, I already gotz a trailer." You should have seen the look on his face, it was down right retarded! When I asked him what the prize was, he actually said "well, we really don't know yet!" I turned around and went back to BS'n with Daron and Frank. He has maybe $200 in some stickers and a few of those $2 medals which equates to REALLY cheap advertising opportunity, not a contingency or support to a race group.

They all seem like we should do them such a huge favor by running their sticker on our car for $50 off trailer parts or 10% off my next order? When they offer to pay for gas, tires or engine work or parts to make the car faster, then we can talk! :lol: What's that line from the Right Stuff? "what gets these things off the ground?.....FUNDING!!!!" Not piddly discounts.

Sorry for going off topic but after seeing the Holiday Canopy ad on the Nationals site, it hit a nerve and they weren't the only ones.

Yeah, I spent the last hour and a half getting somewhat caught up! Funny stuff especially the part about the "trend" in CMC!!!! I snorted Diet DP out the nose! You are more than welcomed in AI!!! Come on down! :lol:

You and I need to drink a beer or two while we are up there in MO and I can introduce you to the world of " I no longer give a fuck!" It's worked wonders for me!
