Just for kicks I'll chime in, maybe someone else in teh same situation will get a laugh. In my youth, which is a considerably LONG time ago, I used to race dirt bikes and flat track all over the midwest circuit. I had managed to get my hands on the first Elsinore 250 in Norhtern Illinois when they first came out, and a first class ride deserved a first class trailer. So I found me an enclosed snomobile trailer, had it lettered, looked real nice. Big thing. 101 wide, 12 ft long. Fully insulated, panelled, wind out windows etc. In short, it was a toyhauler prior to anyone knowing what a toy hauler was. Also note that this was before alluminum, and it weighed a ton. Now the scary part. ALl I had to tow with was a 73 Pinto. The trailer was much larger than the car. It took 5 miles to get up to 60 MPH in a tail wind going down hill. Stopping? Forget it. The trailer drove me, not the other way around. Long story short, I found myself at night going 60 MPH and I see this little sign with RR BUMP on it. Well, I know that I cannot stop, so the old racer's logic kicked in. When in trouble hit the gas. You can imagine my surprise when out of the darkness pops up a Rail road crossing with a bump that had to be 10 ft tall. Now picture this in your minds... a dark green pinto pulling a monster trailer 10 ft in the air, all wheels including the trailer doing their best Dukes of Hazard impression minus the rebel horn... and you have a good picture. The landing was full of sparks, broken axles, blown tires etc. To say that I learned a lesson that day just doesn't do it justice.
The point I want to make is just in hearing what you are doing, all I can say is think long and hard about it. Stopping, handling etc are compromised.. so that means your safety is compromised as well. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably do it again to make the next race, but that was then, and I am a lot smarter now. Be careful
