I put a 1 1/4 trailer hitch on my car for my bicycle rack, but it will double as a "track trailer" hitch when I am ready to put real tires on the F. Honestly, if I were changing wheels, I'd just buy used slicks and call it a day. Very inexpensive if you can find a good source, and since we are not competing, it really doesn't matter if the tires are 100% or only 75%, they will still beat any street legal tire. Here's one example:

I saw a Z06 Vette , on the way to Chuckwalla in California, pulling a small trailer with just 4 race wheels and tires. It was very cool to see. I was like, this dude is hardcore. I cant find the photo though

Mike, last track weekend I took out the rear seats (takes 4 bolts and <15 min) and was able to fit all 4 wheels in the back (mine are 18" but 19" should fit too) plus canopy and two camping chairs. This leaves plenty of room for jack, stands, tools etc. in the trunk especially if you remove the spare.

If you have an aftermarket diffuser, it won't fit without modification to the diffuser. It took about 30 minutes to install, no jack required, but easier if you can lift the rear a bit.
