Make sure whomever you have in the car pulling or being pulled and you have 
established an EASY form of communicating.  This is after having checked the 
brakes on the Roadster.  Cell phones use may be a good thing to use and even 
the "dumb" little things may be important.

Don't forget, it's easy to presume that the person who is pulling you in the 
roadster, knows to tell you that they've let off the gas and are now 
coasting... until you find yourself slamming on the brakes and they 
accelerate in response to the tug they feel in back....  it quickly becomes 
a yo-yo.  Done that, been there, don't want to do it again.  Thankfully, in 
my case it was in the yard and all it cost me was a pair of ruts in the 
lawn.
