LoL, had to have the wagon wheels.

That drag video, what is up with the high mph vs ET? Is that cause he didn't step on it from the start?
Can you imagine towing a trailer at that speed!

FWD towing with the tri link just sounds like a mess. Need the rear drag type spring spacer blocks or it will probably squat. If there isn't much tongue weight and the trailer has brakes it might not be that bad lol.

How awesome would it be to win a race while in tow though, lol.

BuffaloSS,
Does the car handle ok, torque steer more?

The car handles fine. I typically tow from Buffalo to Syracuse, up to Watertown, NY, and across to Lake Placid. Quite a bit of highway with a lot of mountains/hills. You'll find me doing no less than 70 unless I'm going through small towns.

Here's a few shots right before we left the park to come home last year:

And regarding the "ugly *** hitch" comment...TBH, it's really not that noticeable. It sits well inside the edge of the bumper, and as long as I keep a fresh coat of black paint on it, it doesn't really show that well (unless you're looking for it, of course).

Default trailor

Has anyone seen the video, put out within the last 12 months, of a GP with a trailor racing another car and beating it?
