Visited the Hot Rod Reunion at Beech Bend Park, Bowling Green, KY this past June. Arriving 2 days early, I found a nice, quiet spot near the back of the campground, not knowing this area would become "Burnout Central" every evening and into the wee hours. It was great fun. With my folding chair on top of the camper, a fine cigar, and plenty of "adult beverages" reachable through the emergency hatch, I had the best seat in the house! Even had one nitro funny car pull around for some eye-burning cackling. Learned that nitro fumes make grilled steaks taste better!!

Nice, Wish I was there!

Found them on EBAY , you can make them cheaper. I needed a set in a hurry.

They need to be offset a little bit more due to my camper rear door not being centered over the hitch.

You will need to use an anti rattle device like this to keep them tight.

Here is an EBAY Link.

All your truck needs now is one of these under the tailgate, for "center ID marker lamp" function instead of the old style marker lights on the tailgate from that era of truck:

My dad put one on his truck and wired it so it also does brake and turn function.

Thanks for the idea, but that area will never see daylight or nightlight again. Stays covered up all the time.

Nice setup! We drag race, too. We took the truck/camper/trailer/car out this weekend and had a blast. It rained like crazy friday night, and then sprinkled off and on saturday, but we got our passes in. Campers rock!

Tell me more about your race car combo..
