Re: Towing

I used to flat tow the Chevelle to the race track.

Then we progressed to the open trailer.

The setup pictured here has been all over the US, as far as Bakersfield CA and Bradenton FL.

Re: Towing

This is not recommended, though.

I won't do this again.

Re: Towing

i first started with a towbar and it was also so sketchy i quickly looked for a trailer. i did tow a k5 blazer on 38s with a stock 83 s10 blazer. anything over 15 mph it started pushing me around. only had to go 2 miles so just took side roads
