New Haulmark Trailer

So I just took delivery of a brand new Haulmark trailer. Top quality I thought but far from the truth! The finish work is poor, the trailer leaks in a moderate rain soaking the carpeted interior sides, the Flood lights in the side were mounted upside down and flood the sky not the area adjacent to the trailer and the custom ramps are so badly welded a ten year old in shop class could have done better!!! An email to the customer service rep has still not been answered...If looking at a new trailer I would not look at Haulmark. This trailer was built in Georgia, maybe their other facilities do a better job...

How can I install a brake light ... for use only HPDE events

There is a local club that puts on several HPDE events and I am considering doing a few just for extra seat time. The catch is you need a working brake light. Any one have a good / easy way I could wire one up to use at these events? I am fairly good with electrical, just not sure whats out there for switches to use on the brake pedal. Thanks for any and all help.




Fun with tires....

Hoosier returns as title sponsor!

Hoosier Racing Tire returns to the US Formula 1000 Championship in a three year agreement as title sponsor that will see the Championship renamed as The Hoosier Tire US Formula 1000 Championship.

The agreement calls for both cash and contingency prizes to be awarded at each race event with cash prize payouts to be announced at a later date. Per-race contingency prizes will remain as they were in 2013 with 20 tires awarded per weekend as long as there are a minimum of 10 entries per race.

Per-race contingency prizes are as follows:


  • 1st-4 tires

  • 2nd-2 tires

  • 3rd-1 tire

  • Pole position-1 tire

  • There will also be two tires awarded in random drawings among non-podium finishers at each race.


If there are less than 10 cars entered the tire contingency award will be 10 tires per weekend with contingency awarded as follows:


  • 1st-2 tires

  • 2nd-1 tires

  • Pole position-1 tire

  • There will also be two tires awarded in random drawings among non-podium finishers at each race.


As in 2013, the overall 2014 US Formula 1000 Championship driver will win a tire program from Hoosier for the 2015 season. Should the 2014 champion also win the SCCA National Runoffs in FB the national championship prize will take precedent.

As part of this agreement, Hoosier tire will be the only tire permitted but any Hoosier size and compound can be used in 2014. To help reduce costs to competitors, Hoosier has agreed to work with the series admins and drivers to develop a spec tire for 2015 and 2016.

To be eligible for the Hoosier Tire contingency award and cash prizes drivers must be registered with the series and display both a Hoosier patch on their uniform and three Hoosier decals on their car in locations to be specified by the series
