Tool/tire trailer?
Has anyone towed a light tool/tire trailer for use at the track with their Z06 or any C5 for that matter? Is there a light duty hitch that could be easily bolted on and unbolted for this use? There's not much room inside the car for a set of track tires obviously. Thanks.

I'm doing this very thing.
I ordered a trailer from HarborFrieght.com total was 275.93 which included a spare tire.
See http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=35967
Then get a peice of ply-wood, and install some other stuff on it, and voila, a trailer! A popular choice.
Then I also got a hitch from http://www.hitch-web.com I got a draw-tite. It bolts right up to the Z06.
My parts have not yet arrived, but I did a lot of research, and this above seemed like a good alternative.

Check out the Sport Tote, I bought one this summer, pulled it behind my 92 Vert for 5000 miles, never know its back there, good at 80 mph+, aero styled, and only around $800 with spare and cover. http://www.sport-tote-inc.com/ and they have a list of dealers around the country.

I have one tho I bought it used.. I can carry 4 tires, tools, an air tank and jack, 2 chairs and a pop up tent, and some misc stuff...and at 80 mph you dont know its there either. Its the way to go, drive to the event, change your tires, blow everyones doors off, change back, and drive home at 80 mphwith the AC on high, getting 30mpg... LIFE is good! :crazy: I have a pic but aint that bright to post it... :D
