re: Towing Newb - Dave's learning to tow blog
Thanks guys, definitely going to watch the turns. The other thing is following distance and braking zones which is especially important to my wife who carries her late braking tendancies from the track onto the street at times.
We're going to take my wife's M3 (it's still "street legal  " ) over when we pick up the trailer today and get the trailer shop to help us do the initial setup with the weight of the car in the trailer. Will drive it back independently w/ empty trailer but we'll have some good expertise to help on the initial setup with WDH and the tongue weight. Won't have the spare wheels, tools & gear, but will be better than setting it up empty.
Our buddy with the Pace has the etrack and he recommended against getting it... said it ended up being a waste of money for limited flexibility. We got a set of tie down hooks that go into the framerails and some short-ended rachet straps that were recommended as working well with this setup.
Maybe as we learn more we'll consider adding it in - especially if we end up hauling different cars.
