Yes, you read that correctly. THE tire tail. This has cycled through several COM members and I'd like to continue the tradition. I live in southern NH and work in Wakefield, MA for meet / pick up.

I have a Hard Dog R1 hitch receiver that could go with this. See: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4745

Re: THE tire tail
Anyone looking to bring a second set of wheels/tires to the track without going full trailer can use this. It slides into any receiver style hitch. Comes with all hardware too.
This photo is not my car, but a perfect representation of it.

Re: THE tire tail
Nice!
But I have questions:
An avg tire weights about 40 lbs. 40 lbs x 4 = 160 lbs + weight of the tire tail and you are borderline max tongue weight (depending on hitch class you have) and stress on the hitch and mounting points.
Comments?

Re: THE tire tail
As an impartial comment - I've used Tire tail on my NB for about 8 years. If I didn't have to lighten the autocross car significantly, I'd still be using it today. Life without it is _really_ hard in comparison. BTW, I've used it with DaLan hitch (which, I assume is Curtis now). Not sure what the tongue rating was but it held up OK for 8 years of 80-mile roundtrips to Fort Devens.

John, did you buy a trailer?

Re: THE tire tail
I also used a Tire Tail for about 6 years. Drove to Lime Rock, 175 miles and NHMS,50 miles. Never a had a problem. 
It's a great way to get started using track tires.
