Longjohn ★ Posted November 18, 2020 Share #26 Posted November 18, 2020 My first thought was buy it but then I thought about it and looked at that roll bar. Not enough protection.

Greg Ray had a triple axle gooseneck Featherlight with a nice work area inside and a small living quarters. You could get on top to watch the races. Held his F2000 car. We pulled it with a Ford F350 with a PowerStroke diesel. I remember doing 80 heading back to Dallas from College Station with that rig.
