I dont really see the problem, maybe this is his only driver and he has to do what he has to do. He just enjoys driving his vette so much that he takes it every where and all his stuff with it. Kinda of admire the guy, got ba!!s to pull a trailer around behind him. Not everyone is so fortunate to have another car to tool around in. Lets not be so hard on the guy.

I believe this is the guy that I saw at springmountain motorsport. He brings his race tires with him. I don't think it's bad idea to haul your tires instead of bringing two vehicles.

It was a woman driver.
The car was a C5 Z06.
The driver did not wave back !

The extra load obviously isn't slowing him/her down any.. the way they are chomping on the *** of the car in front.

Haha, this is a friend of mine in her Z06. We have quite a few racers who transport their equipment (tires and stuff)on a small trailer to the auto-x, nothing wrong with it.

- she is not going on vacation with it -
- she came back from an auto-x in Monterey
- Her husband drives a 1960 Vette - awesome!
- She usually waves back

If you ever go to a Auto-X race, you'll see this A LOT! Everything from Miatas to Vettes... I admit, it DOES look silly on the way to track, but I guarantee, no one is laughing when you see them race. The people that trailer their own equipment, are usually VERY good.

It does look a little goofy. I understand why you sometimes need a small trailer for race tires or such, but I think it still looks strange to see a 400+HP Corvette pulling a little trailer.
