Has anyone ever successfully towed a teener on an open trailer with a car cover? If so how did you do it and what did you use? I'm worried about the track car I'm building being in the elements (rain) when towing, especially on long trips. Budget doesn't allow for an enclosed trailer this year.

I have tried it. I used a rectangular tarp, the synthetic silver/gray ones tied down really well, ad tightened along the way. The thing was shredded by the time I got to the destination (>1000 miles). The other time, i got a roll of that shrink wrap tat movers use, or that pallets are wrapped wit, and wrapped the car just to keep things from flying out of the open cockpit. I think that any tarp would get shredded pretty baddly at highway speeds, and if you want your paint to last, I'd skip it!
