At the end of the day you load your tools and cooler in the trunk of the race car and head for home, can it get any simpler?

Yes it can.I used to hook the tow bar to the gremlin and to my 1971 pontiac grandville and drive back from Long Island to Queens.Didn't need no stinking tiedowns,just a tow bar and a "safety chain".And plug in the tow light harness.

Ed don't forget those wheel adapters for flat towing so your rear wheels would spin and not the axles, What were they called?

Thanks alot, that was very entertaining. I would love to have had the opportunity to meet him, what a great ambassador for the sport.

They were called 'free wheel' hubs or, if not, they should have been.

That would have been high tech for me Ed. I started towing my Sport Fury to Hampton Raceway back in 71 behind my buddies 68 Cutlass with a chain, no tow light, just unbolt the old trunion driveshaft. I would sit in the race car and have to brake for every light on Sunrise Highway , but I'd have the eight track player going the whole time, it was about an hour tow from West Islip, Machine Head was my tape of choice. In 72 I finally got an old tow bar from Walter Herald for 20 bucks and used it untill 92 when I got my open trailer.
