Default help me prepare my team

this year i am going to race with the BMW, i used to race with hondas but times change.
i finally have a sponsor support so i have enough money to add lots of stuff on the bike with out engine modifications ( track regulations ).
this is also this first time i get a closed trailer so please help me with these questions:
i will have 2 main bikes and 2 spare ones, so transportation is not easy so i had lots of options:
1- getting a 26-30ft trailer and haling it with a 3500HD diesel truck, i can only find a gas truck and with that kind of trailer it can damage the transition so i need a diesel for the torque.
2- getting 2 chevrolet savana 3500 people carrier and convert it to make it fit 2 bikes ( very tight space ) and there is some room for the other stuff that i need like tires and spare parts, so in this case i have to get me 2 cars and that is too much.
3- last choice that i find good: get a chevrolet savana 3500 mod it to fit 2 bikes and get a 6X12 closed trailer and hall it by this car.
* i need a transportation that can go 80 MPH wail haling the loaded trailer ( speed limit )

- what does a 6X12 trailer can carry? pics please.

for the bikes:
as i told before i will be racing bmw's and i want them to be fast and lite as possible so i have these parts in mind ( what do you think ):
- Front ohlins 30mm cartridge + TTX shock
- Triple clamps
- Brake cables
- Brembo RCS lever
- Brembo discs
- Brembo HP calipers ( with the OEM pads fit? i will install carbon pads )
- full ti system
- Quick turn throttle ALPHA
- Race faring ALPHA with race tail.
- Mag rims
- Front and rear sprockets with 520 chain
- ohlins steering damper
- Lightweight rear titanium disc
- PCV
- lite battery

that is all.
any more improvement parts you think that i shod get?

Two bikes comfortably, it's possible to squeeze three, but would be tight and you wouldn't be able to walk around in the rear 1/2.

Here's some pictures of mine I just finished up last fall... comfortably accommodates two bikes --> Finished the Race/Track Trailer

Good Luck
