Long ago (early 70's), on a regular basis I towed a Bugeye Sprite behind my
2liter, to and from local autocrosses in the Philadelphia area. I remember
going to a Uhaul and matching up a hitch to the rear frame members. It
wasn't a real pleasant towing experience but yah did what yah had to do in
those days.
