Ed,
You are correct, the car takes way more abuse in the trailer on our fine highway system than on the track.
(Unless you brake a wheelie bar, then slam the front end down. Another advantage to having a slow car!)
We used to do design work for the Army and they had some very exacting trailer standards, and one was crisscrossing the straps to prevent shifting of the load followed by securing the load vertically from bouncing. Then there was the angle of departure thing for the rear so you didn't get stuck on a hill...
