The a week or so, the pricing, the warranty and what a build slot actually commits you to.
The a week or so, the pricing, the warranty and what a build slot actually commits you to.
There isn’t one, but there is a condition: the drawing has to be locked. Most of what makes a build slow at a large manufacturer is queue time and mid-build changes. We front-load every decision into days one and two, then nothing moves. If you want to change the layout on day nine we’ll do it — it just adds days, and we tell you exactly how many before you decide.
Because most of what you pay a national brand isn’t material. It’s the dealer’s margin, the showroom, the advertising budget, and the finished units depreciating on a lot. We have none of that. Our costs are aluminum, marine birch, axles and hours — bought at the same prices everyone else pays.
It comes back to Napa, to the same five people. Five-year structural warranty, two years on components. You also leave with the full wiring schematic on day one, so any competent shop can work on it if you’re a long way from California.
We’d prefer it. We’re an hour north of San Francisco. Walk the floor, look at a frame mid-build, sit in a finished trailer and decide whether the bench is where you’d want it. Most people change two or three things after standing in one, and that’s exactly the point.
Karting is what we know best because it’s what we race, but the BM-Moto platform covers motocross, road racing and snowmobile programs — ramp door, chocks on rails, heated gear lockers and an insulated cold-weather package. If you run a mixed program, tell us the worst-case weekend and we’ll draw around that.
A slot is held with an approved drawing and a deposit. The price is fixed in writing at that point and does not move — not for material costs, not for hours, not for anything we failed to anticipate. That risk is ours, which is why we take our time getting the drawing right.
Yes. Every rack, stand and bracket is powder-coated in house, so team colours cost nothing extra. A full exterior wrap is a paid option and adds roughly two days to the build because the panels have to cure before the graphics go on.
We deliver, and we do it ourselves. We do not use transport brokers or carriers at any distance — one of the five of us hitches your trailer to our truck and drives it to you, then does the same walk-through in your driveway that you would have got in the shop. It is free anywhere inside 100 miles of Napa, and $1 a road mile beyond that, one way. Los Angeles works out at $330, Las Vegas at $470. You are still welcome to collect if you would rather, and plenty of people do.
Because there is nobody in the middle. A broker quotes you a carrier’s rate plus their own cut, and the carrier prices the job to make a margin on the fuel and the driver’s day. We are already towing to races most weekends, and your delivery is the last stage of a build we have been standing next to all week — not a freight job we need to profit on. A dollar a mile covers the diesel and the day. We have not yet seen anyone in the country quote lower on an enclosed race trailer; if you find one, tell us and we will look at it.
Within a few days, scheduled around the race calendar rather than instantly. You get the delivery date at the same time as the price, on the first call, so it is never a surprise at the end. If you happen to be racing the same weekend we are, we will simply bring the trailer to the paddock and hand it over there.
If the question you have is not above, it is probably the one worth asking. Send it over — we would rather answer it now than have it come up after a deposit.
Send us your karts, your tire count, how many people travel with you, and whether you need to sleep in it. We’ll come back within one business day with a layout drawing and a fixed price — no configurator games, no “call for pricing”.
