Terry,
You sure are right about too little tongue weight and straight line sway.
Quite a number of years ago, I had too much tongue weight, so I bolted chocks
to the trailer floor to moved the car back. Didn't realize that I now had
too little weight until the trailer tried to pass my two ton plus '68
Plymouth fury station wagon at 65mph on
I 684 on the way to Lime Rock. Used all the lanes plus the shoulder. Real
scary!! Lost what was left of my composure barely a mile down the road when I
collected a fair sized bird with my windshield.
To top the day off, I was leading in CP with two laps left when I was too hot
into the Big Bend at the end of the straight and had to use the escape road.
Came in second behind a nearly stock 240Z :( All in all, not my best day.
So...watch for too little tongue weight!
