I looking to maybe do some autocross or track events with PCA, not competitively but more for fun. How many of you guys Haul your car to events as opposed to drive the car to the events. I have reservations about driving there incase a mechanical issue should arise, you are then stranded. Not a big deal locally, but from Button willow to San Diego, would be expensive.
I don’t have a trailer, and don’t have a place currently to store a trailer. Uhaul can be a pain in the ass for availability and duration, so I’m just see what some other guys do to solve this dilemma. Also, did they really do this back in the day? Anyone doing this option? haha (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i187.photobucket.com-14487-1409351273.1.jpg) |

Thanks for the impute! Did you guys custom fabricate the linkage to flat tow or is there a particular kit or product?
Flat towing would work great for me, I would be towing with a Quad cab tundra. |

Got the bracket from Rennenmetal and a Super Beetle tow bar from local BAP/GEON for about $100...Great combo....you'll also need a set of taillights....I mounted mine up inside the Targa wings & used a bit of tape to insure they stayed in place. |
