A Racing Journey
Kevin Vue began his racing career in 2020, participating in High-Performance Driver Education (HPDE) events with JZilla Track Days. As he progressed as a driver, his car became more extreme, necessitating a change in how he transported it to the track. Driving his race car to the track was no longer a viable option, given the potential risks and increased performance demands.
The Towing Dilemma
Kevin initially rented U-Haul trailers, but the experience was far from ideal. He then borrowed a friend’s 20ft enclosed trailer, but the heavy load was too much for his Toyota Tundra, and the poor gas mileage added to his expenses. In April 2023, Kevin decided to purchase a brand new 16.5ft Futura Super Sport lowering trailer. This trailer solved many of his problems, offering better gas mileage and easier loading without the need for race ramps or front-end/splitter removal.
Discovering towlos
With his new trailer, Kevin quickly became the go-to person among his friends for borrowing it. He didn’t charge them but soon realized he could make money renting it out while it was not in use. Kevin made a feeler post in the JZilla Track days Facebook group, which garnered immediate interest. Among the comments was a suggestion from Andrew Rains to check out towlos, a peer-to-peer trailer rental marketplace. Intrigued, Kevin created a towlos account and his towlos journey began.
The towlos Experience
Kevin was impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of the towlos platform. Matt Jones, the founder of towlos, promptly answered all his questions about renting out his trailer. Kevin grew increasingly excited to play a major role in helping towlos learn and grow, and is now a proud towlos Ambassador, covering the Atlanta, GA area.
Kevin’s journey from a racing enthusiast to a towlos host highlights the many opportunities within the motorsport community, including the benefits of the towlos marketplace. His experience shows how owning a trailer can become a substantial side hustle, providing a reliable and professional platform for renting out equipment. Kevin Vue exemplifies the community spirit and entrepreneurial drive that towlos aims to foster among its hosts and guests. You should check out his trailer today!
