[Spridgets] Trailer question

[Rick Fisk]

Hard to answer that question Lester.  The axle itself could be the limiting factor, it could be the axle bearings, could even be the tires.  If the trailer has brakes they could be the limiting factor.  Could also be the structure of the trailer.  All of these things have to be considered.  So my is is I dunno.
