So in summary, new track, new tires, new pads and it is supposed to be in the mid 50's with a chance of rain both days. I am also bringing my Pilot Super Sports on my street wheels just in case it rains and/or is too cold for the NT01's.
My crazy brother has used NT01s whole winter on his Miata last year and survived! Granted, our winters are mild compared to snow belt states', but I was impressed by the traction at cold temps. I'm sure you'll be fine!

Regarding the trailer, it is from Top Notch Trailers in Rochester, WA. They also have a sister manufacturer in Louisiana. It cost me $3K + the wheel/tire package from TireRack. I was able to customize it to exactly what I want, like more cross members ($60), 6-lug bearings ($20), spare tire holder ($45), tilt bed dampeners ($175), hinged fender ($95), no wheels/tires (-$232), approach plates ($60), D-rings ($40) etc. It was fun!
