Terry,
My Seemann Motorsports web page at http://www.erols.com/zakz/ has some
pictures of the GMC and the racing operation. Unfortunately, the digital
camera did not work as well as I would have liked because the sun was going
down, but the pictures aren't too bad. There are much better pictures of
the race cars in the racing section of the page. The trailer is behind the
GMC in the picture, but is not really hooked up. We have to unhook to get
the front of the trailer high enough to get the cars out of the trailer
without scraping. One of these days, I'll get a good picture of the whole
thing hooked up going down the road. The GMC parts and services part of
the page is something that we would really like to get going, but have not
yet had the time necessary to devote to it.

PS - Yes, both of those cars fit in that trailer! We back the dragster in
onto a support system we made. The support system goes under the frame
rails of the dragster the entire length of the car. The support system is
then raised in the front with a winch while pivoting in the back. This
picks the dragster totally off the floor (several feet in the front and
only about an inch in the back). We used the support system because
several people have actually broken their dragsters in half by just picking
up the front of the dragster without supporting its frame. The Firebird can
then be pulled in underneath the font half of the dragster. The nose of
the firebird ends at about where the drivers compartment of the dragster
starts. The back of the firebird only ends up a couple of feet further
back than the front of the dragster. I attempted to draw, rather poorly I
might add
, an ASCII picture below that illustrates the trailer setup.
