I just have one question, How do you get all of that stuff to your competition? We have a hard enough time with the compact pit design that we do have. Do you have a trailer, because we just got one this year for our team. I think its a 12 footer. A nice size for what we need to bring to the competitions.
We have a fourteen foot tandem axle trailer we haul with us to comps. We special ordered it with a 6'-6" clearance so we can get taller items (and people) inside. It has a side access door and a ramp gate in the back for ease of moving things in and out. We've also installed metal racks at the front and side to handle bins and other items.

I'll see if I can scrounge up a picture.

Heed Chris' advice in the previous post. We did that as well!
