My

is if you are going to competitions I would want a trailer pit, because these backyard Gator Pits are heavy, there not easy to get in a truck or on a trailer for transport, My Party Gator "24" weights about 600 lbs. I would step up to a trailer Captivator Pit 24"x 60"
Maybe some of the pro comp guys here can chim-in on this for you.
