Boxster trailer hitch

This was a fun little project on Monday.

My car lives a dual- identity. It's my track toy, but if I'm to continue rationalizing ownership, it has to pretend to be a street car as well.

So last season I came to the conclusion that I needed spare wheels with sticky tires. Great. But I'm also Scottish, so I was somewhat worried about the heat cycles I'd subject those tires to on the track commute. The obvious solution was a little trailer, like some if y'all have done.

So last year I built a hitch that attached to the bumperette brackets. I used that to and from the track twice. Seemed fine. Last week I was preparing for my first foray to the track this year (today! Yeah! ) and discovered that both bumperette brackets had a small crack along the top of the mount. I doubt they would've made it to the track again.

So I whipped this one together. Fun, simple, allowed me to dump the bumperettes altogether. The most expensive part was the draw bar.

Maiden voyage this morning!
