I wanna go to the 2005 WCC but can't trust drivin' Punkin all the way so it's either tow or trailer. Need input for which y'all think is best. I know the tow dolly is cheaper and the trailer is heavier but that's about it.

I had an open trailer made locally. It is not super heavy duty but it doesn't have to be for a <2000 lb car. Get double axels though, less sensitive to balance and of course blowout.
I had them do a drop axle so the bed would be real low and just wide enough for a 914. Its exactly 70" between fenders so I have a couple inches each side and it fits in my garage. The outer dim of the fenders is 96" and the overall length is just less than 20' Attached image(s)
