Looking good!
Couple bits of things that help me. Get one of those rubber "stop" mats for when loading your race car. That way you can drive in and just "stop" when it hits the mark. Way better than marks on the floor.
Put tint on those windows, especially if you are storing the race car in there long term along with all your tools.
Race Ramps, yeah wood blocks will do but they are heavy and annoying. Buying a set of race ramps makes your life much easier. That small "flip out ramp" doesn't work well with our low GTS cars.
Make sure you get a ratchet e-track strap. I tried the "pull and tight" since they were a lot cheaper. Garbage...
Also if you are keeping all your tools in there, be very careful of your tongue weight. Those RRs are only allowed 500lbs of tongue weight, and with a 3000lb car + 2500 trailer + 200 in 2nd tire set + 500lbs in tools...well you see where I am getting at. You knew what you were getting into, so I wont go further, but definitely stop at those cat scales on the way down/back from VIR and check your rear axle weight.
