Sort of.
A rail trailer makes a really handy lift when you're at the races and its
lighter to tow.
I agree that if you're hauling tractors around, using it for carrying
building debris, or whatever that having the closed deck is really nice.
But if you're getting it to tow your racecar to the track, consider an
open rail trailer.
Somewhat related... I don't think you really save all that much buying a
used trailer vs. a new one. There are deals out there of course, but from
what I've seen of trailer ads, the ones that are at enough of a discount
over new to make it worthwhile to me are usually beat to death. They seem
to hold their value pretty well.
