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

It's all downhill from here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
we started driving. Then twice we broke things at an autocross so we bought a Chevy Blazer and rented U-Haul each time. PITA..so we bought an open trailer. did that for years for AX and DE... Then started modifying the car and needing more 'stuff' at the track, so we got a 20' enclosed...then had to buy a Tahoe....then came the 40' gooseneck enclosed 2 car trailer with dually diesel pick up pulling it to do Targa Newfoundland...eventually sold that. Now back to 24' enclosed with F250 diesel. This is all we really need (oh, and we still ahve the open trailer for simple AX and car movement trips)

Yep...it's a slippery slope... enjoy the ride!
