I have seen fellow Crankoid Hank D. tow his FFR on what looked like a heavy equipment type trailer (heavy weight too) with a 6 cylinder minivan. I used to rent an open trailer from a friend for $35 per on a regular basis, and he appreciated the fact it came back better than it usually left. I bought an old Chevy van for $1800, and it worked fine, with a little mechanical input. A new dual axle open trailer shouldn't be more than $17-1800, and a used one not more than $1000-1200, especially this time of year. If you could have seen my rig (called it the 60's experience), you would have sh*t, but I got to the track and ran like hell. With an open trailer, the van is better, as it gave me a dry place to put all the "stuff" you want to bring, and a place to sleep if it craps out on the road. So, no excuses-no whining, just get on with it and get there.
