It was impressive. I was sold on the weight distributing/anti-sway hitch after that!
When I first started doing race weekends with David and #39 we didn't use the the WD hitch
that he had in the shop. After we figured out the airbags on the tow vehicle where dead he
switched to using the WD hitch. I was sold. Last year I bought a trailer to bring the 77 vette
to Ohio and didn't even think twice about a what hitch to use. My hitch has the option for
sway control but I've found - at least with just the vette on the trailer - that the preload on
the WD hitch does a pretty good job of keeping things straight behind my Avalanche. And I
learned from loading #39 how to make sure the car is well placed on the trailer. I'm sure
it helps that I wasn't hauling all the extra tires and tools and spares that we usually take with
the race car. And it sure makes the truck ride better on some of the rough roads I drove.
