Ok, so I've decided that I need a tow vehicle. Driving my racecar to hillclimbs is one thing, but I don't want to tempt fate when I start wheel to wheel racing. Racecar is an ITB Suzuki Swift GTi (competition weight is 1895 lbs). Right now my daily driver is a Subaru 2.5 RS (and it's trailer capacity is actually pretty close to the weight of the swift... but with trailer and wheels/tools/etc... it just won't cut it).
So, in trying to do this on the cheep, what does everyone suggest? Will a small pickup (such as a ranger or toyota) handle it (maybe with a V6)? Or pick up a beat up used cop car? Is a tow-dolly a decent option? I've been told that tow dolley's require the vehicle being towed to have a license plate... is this true? I never really noticed if the dolly's themselves have plates.
Regardless of what tow package I get, I'm screwed on space. Only a 2 car garage (one spot for the swift, one for the impreza), no room for a dolly/trailer/tow vehicle. I can park a tow vehicle on the street, but not a trailer/dolly. I'll have to figure that problem out for myself. Anyhoo, any suggestions?
