Default Car Cover

I recently bought a '69 Camaro G/SA drag car.
The past owner was meticulous as to how he looked after the car and, from the feedback that I have received so far, it is one of the cleanest Stock Eliminators they have ever seen.

He towed in an enclosed trailer.
Unfortunately, my budget only allowed me an open trailer as the right car was more important to me than an enclosed trailer.

Can someone recommend a car cover that I could use, while trailering, that would keep bugs, dust and rain off the car while not marring the paint.

Thank you in advance.

Not really anything out there for that. I just bit the bullet and purchased a enclosed. Lots to choose from and the prices are all over.

Good Luck

NEVER use a car cover on an open trailer. The wind buffeting will buff the paint right off the edges of the fenders, roof, quarters.....

Not to mention the safety of anyone following you [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] I don't even cover a car inside a trailer. Some guys do

Thank you for all the replies.
That is pretty well what I already thought.

The suggestion of and enclosed trailer sounds nice, but my money has gone into the car and I would not have been able to buy it, if I had bought an enclosed trailer instead of the open one.

It appears that I will be doing a lot of washing and polishing between races...

First I'd seen of it Sam. There has hot to be a lot of wind back there, I'd be afraid of something coming loose and wreaking havoc.
