Anthony & Susan;
When I used to tow my race car I always tied just the wheels. It towed
so much better when the car could use its own suspension. I didn't use
any bonnets. I just just racketed a strap over the wheels (let a little
air out of the tires). Towed may miles this way with zero problems. It
is important to allow the car to use its own suspension (learned that
from experience).
