This really isn't very rare, at least out here, if you go out to any of the NASA events plenty of people do the same thing

Perhaps he enjoys driving ~3000 lb sports cars more than ~6000 lb trucks (with another ~4000 lbs of car, trailer & other things)?

LOL... Didn't know Porsche actually allows fitting a tow hook...

But at least he's using it for a good purpose

I'm with you......not everybody has a support crew to bring everything else to the track for you. The fact that he did want he had to do to go to the track and compete properly......My hats off to him.

Why is that a disgrace? If it has a tow capacity and you have a means to use it why not? We have a guy with LT Camaro that tows his trailer to almost every show.
