[Land-speed] Towing a race car

[Benn]

I used to tow my C2 'vette race car (about 4000# with trailer) with another 
C2 (about 3200#).  Worked fine.  Coulda used a deeper first gear, but no 
real problem.  Be SURE that the trailer tongue load is adequate though.  Had 
a very close escape from destruction by towing another trailer that was too 
light on the tongue.
