I used to carry my track tires/wheels and tools in a small Harbor Freight trailer. The hitch was custom designed to fit my C6Z without cutting holes or altering anything, just using factory mount points. I gave up changing tires at the track so use the hitch as a rear tow point.
On my C5 I used a Harbor Freight trailer that I modified to handle 2 sets of tires and my toolbox. Don't recall where I got the hitch, but it worked fine without altering any of the bodywork. Many times traveling at speeds I probably shouldn't have through Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, But it did well and was very steady.
Vettes make great tow vehicles, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I use a 4'x8' HF utility trailer to haul my track gear, engines for my other projects, you name it. Think about it - more power, better brakes, better cooling? GM calls that a towing package.
It's also very convenient getting to the track and just unhooking the trailer, rather than having to unload all your tools/gear/junk from inside the car.
Ok, now I'm waiting for Jeff Foxworthy to post up a "You Might Be A Redneck If"....................
Love the hauling of firewood with the Corvette.
Again, if you don't want to put tires covered with brake dust (they do get filthy after a track day) and have to smell the aroma of track heated rubber, putting them on a trailer or on one of the receiver hitch mounted cargo trays makes the most sense IMO.
