So I had to make sure my latest modification worked properly...
I picked up a hitch a few months ago with intentions of using it to pull a tire trailer to the track.
Installed and wired it:

I have not yet built my tire trailer but was itching to see how it worked. Purists, cover your eyes...
Flame suit on...

Surprisingly the car did not melt, burst into flames, fall apart, or blow up. Pulled it like a champ! I figured that if my lowly 250hp 4 banger turbo Subaru could pull it, then a 380hp V8 full framed vehicle would have no problem.

Pulled this load of firewood home like it wasn't even there.
Thinking about getting "WRK TRK" for my next set of plates
or maybe "IT HAULS"

You might want to put some winter tires on that, poor traction in the rear if you don't!
haha
I have a hitch on mine for mountain bikes, love the looks I get when I pull up to the trailhead with 2 toys!

That hitch will also protect your rear fascia from walls and other people's bumpers. Amazing how careful they are when they see one of those.
Where'd you get the hitch?

No need for all the power to tow. Even your Subie was plenty. I towed to track only motorcycles for years with an old Outback with a lot less HP than your Subie. Would even cruise at 75 MPH while towing.

I did some of that too, many years ago.... Was great fun!

Now that's something you don't see every day! I have thought about a trailer often for road trips where you need to bring more things than will fit in the back. I guess snowmobiles fit that category!
