There are very few places on the net that have good information about towing. When I bought my truck and trailer it was a struggle to find info on what I'm rated to tow, how much I can possibly tow and how much I can safely tow (all are different).
The cummins forum has a huge towing section with tons of info. It is great factual towing information, but little of it was specific to towing race cars. Things like what to outfit a trailer with, what straps to tie down with, where to buy parts, interchangeability, use, safety, brands etc.
I've seen some scary "tow rigs" that are a danger mostly because of ignorance. It took me a good while to figure out what a weight distributing hitch was, sway control, trailer brakes (controlers) and all of that other safety equipment.

I think this would be a great idea.
