Stealth way to transport your vette racecar

I saw this, remembered the thread about police harassing people who haul their cars to the track, and had to post it up:

I saw another innovative way to haul a car a couple of years ago although it didn't hide the car. I think I saw it at a NASA event. Somebody converted an old Fire Pumper Truck to haul their car. It was an unusual sight.

not sure what's more fitting for a weekend racer, that it's a bus, or a short bus

Sometimes its easier to just take the ticket than to load it on the trailer.

Yea, He was at the Glenn a couple of years ago when I was there.

He's a helluva nice guy who will always help if you need it.

Do you really want to spend all day (or 2) driving a school bus on the interstate?

I have to say that I've never had any LEO give me a hassle while pulling my tire trailer behind my Z06. Not even to just ask about it.
I had the car on a trailer for 1400 miles each way to Solo Nationals last year and hardly anyone noticed.

Wonder if that Nissan owner called it "Short Bus Racing"
