[Tigers] Tow Dolly

[mike schreiner]

I did have a problem once using a tow dolly....I towed my wire wheel Alpine to a meet in Charleston from Florida years ago.  I was too lazy to take the driveshaft out so I towed the car backwards with the steering wheel tied straight.  That is a big mistake with a wire wheel car. I was singing along at 75mph....at night....finally get to the hotel in charleston....rolled the window down in my tow vehicle as i pulled into the hotel parking lot and heard all kinds of crunching noised from the Alpine.....Upon inspection I realized one of the front wheels was coming loose and would have fallen off if I had gone another mile or two. The bearing (what was left of it ) was now heat welded to the spindle. The knock offs are treaded differently on each side of the car...the design keeps them tight with nmomentum when you drive.....and has the opposite effect if towed backwards....The car could not be fixed until I returned home (turned it around to tow home)...so
 it sat there broken during the whole united.  mIKE
