Listen to this fun! Patricks friend stored some furniture in the race trailer and wasn't available clean it out for the trip. He had to send a couple of his guys over to move the furniture out and bring the trailer up from south of town. We got the trailer around 5pm on Thursday, the night that Mark planned to leave out for the trip with the GTO. No one had seen the trailer in quite a while so it had a few problems. We parked across the street in a large parking lot and hooked the trailer to Patrick's Dodge Truck. But when we started to plug in the lights, someone noticed the wiring harness for the trailer had been cut due to the frame scraping on the ground. Me and Mark spliced the wires back while Patrick and the guys worked on wiring the 7 way plug. It was cold working out and it was getting dark. We plugged it in and nothing. We swapped some wires around and still nothing. So we got on google and found the wiring color codes for the 7 way plug for the Horton Hauler Trailer. We switched everything around per the schematic. Almost an hour later we were ready to try again. I could tell Patrick didn't want to look at the trailer while we plugged it in because he didn't have much hope. We pushed the plug in and the whole trailer light system lit up like a Christmas tree. Everybody was celebrating about getting that done so hard it brought people out of the house to see what happened. That was the last hurdle to cross before Mark could get on the road. It was an ordeal but probably just a little taste of the fun and challenges we will surely face on the road for our project.
