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) |

I have flat towed mine to events for many years with no issues.
As Wndsrfr said, get the Rennenmetal bar if you go this route - it is a perfect fit and very easy to install. http://rennenmetal.com/proddetail.asp?prod=1400 A word of advice on the Super Beetle set up. When you purchase the EMPI tow bar #3131-7, make sure it is EMPI and not the Chinese knock off. There is a bout a 1/2" difference in width and the knock offs won't fit the Rennenmetal setup. Also, if you use the flexdam valence w/o rubber from 914rubber.com everything will clear just fine and you wont have to take it off to tow. |
