I too am another one who insists on driving the car to, AND from the track.
Blame it on my upbringing; my Dad raced at Phillip Island and Bathurst.
He drove the MG to the track, emptied the car and pulled off the plates, 
went
racing and if the car survived, piled all the junk back in and drove home.
If not, repaired the car at the track.

The only mods to the car was a rollbar and a lap belt.  The Bathurst 500
was done on the same set of tires.

I navigated for my cousin who rallied a twin-cam Escort.  Again a drive/to
from the forest.

I carried on this tradition when I raced bikes in the 70s, and the Pantera 
in
the 90s.  So it goes with Rags.

Besides, I cannot afford a trailer and truck.   This hobby is expensive
enough as it is.   :(
