Car trailer

Have a open car trailer going to be using to take my car to the track. What is the proper way to strap the car to the trailer? Axle, rim, or another area on the car?

Wheels are the easiest and best on your suspension. there are also oval shaped cut-outs that are reinforced that tow trucks use to lock it down.

Just make sure you've tightened everything down real good.

I've found that using the wheel tie downs on the front...http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HIG-1275000/ like these....and a strap from the rear of the trailer to the rear axle works best...
