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) |

Trailering is the way to go for the reasons you listed but also
1) huge tool storage 2) hold extra tires/wheels/ jack 3) It is incredibly easy if it rains If you have no storage space for a trailer, can you fit a tow dolly? However then you car has to be licensed and insured. same with flat tow. |
