I would be more worried about stopping. I know you have horses too. I have seen some of my wife's friends got all excited about the euro style Brenderup trailers. They are very light. They did the math and hooked them up to V6 blazers and Ford explores, etc. They were scared plenty in any wind and dropped trannies like mad. All I am saying is that to them, it looked good on paper. In reality, not so good.
If it is possible, maybe you could keep the race rig separate and buy a little Ford Focus for driving around the city?
I drive my Duramax daily in the Chicago suburbs. It pisses me off that the diesel is as high as premium and there isn't really a good reason for it. That being said, I get 21-22 mpg and it's paid for. Pretty low cost per mile. It pulls our old trailer great as well.Not bad for 240,000 truck.

Technology marches on, if it works in race cars, why can't it work in other vehicles? Case in point....We've got ways to provide the vacuum we need in race cars, certainly woulldn't be that hard to do in a street vehicle would it?
Yea, I'd like to hook one up to my trailer too see for myself, but right now I'm studying, and asking questions.
Besides, I don't haul beer in my trailer....... Crown Royal & Grey Goose yes, but beer no. Lighter weight ya know.......
