I once saw a school bus/race car hauler at a circle track. The owner cut off 
the back of the bus body and hinged it from the top. With the back swung up, 
the race car came out on extendable tracks and was lowered to the ground by 
an electric hoist, just like the Winston Cup cars do in their trailers. The 
front 1/3 of the bus was done over as a motor home for the driver and his 
wife and kids.  Neat conversion.
