< Back to News Home Team Sahlen adds new Tractor & Trailer to line up

Posted (08/10/2010) -

Team Sahlen is proud to announce the new addition to their line up of a recently purchased Tractor & Trailer. The trailer's short history is filled with many racing exploits.  Built for Pratt & Miller, the Tractor and Trailer was utilized during the 1st season of the Corvette program in ALMS.  From there the Tractor and Trailer was put into use for the Factory Cadillac program in World Challenge. 

 

Team Sahlen's former trailer has now been retired and put up for sale.  The Trailer has been in use with the team since 1993. "I have very fond memories with that trailer.  It has been very good to our team.  We have been able to haul up to 6 race cars at a time in there, and that was very necessary when we were racing over 8 cars at a time.  We made many revisions to it over the years, and I hope it finds a good home with an new start up team"  states Joe Nonnamaker

 

The new Tractor and Trailer that has been purchased provides a lot of features that will assist Team Sahlen as they proceed into the 2011 season.  These features include a front lounge for Data and Engineering debreifing sessions. Full interior cabinet on lower level allow for all items to be placed in specific locations.  A parts washer is also installed for emergency useage.  The tent also includes a front extension to allow for extra paddock space when needed.

 

"We are very excited about the new trailer.  This is just one more piece of the puzzle to allowing Team Sahlen to work to get to the front of the ROLEX GT field.  The Tractor and Trailer doesn't make the race cars any faster, but it certainly makes the crews job easier and makes for a more comfortable weekend." states Jay Chapman, Team Manager

 

The 2010 Team Sahlen GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 & GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Campaigns will be supported by Mazda, Mazdaspeed, HRPWorld.com, HAWK Performance, Cool Shirt, Racetech Seats, BBS, Racing Print Media, Alcon, Mothers Polish, EMCO, TheRaceSite.com, Grassroots Motorsports, Holliday Canopies, Alcon, CM Racing, Genesis Technologies, Endurance Karting, Bell Helmets, Castrol, Ianetti Design, and SpeedSource Engineering
