Towing question

If you tie your car down at the rear axle housing, try touching your shocks on the car after towing for an hour or so. The shocks are very hot. I don't know how this affects the life of the shocks or their function but I don't think it can be a good thing.
Years ago several of us stocker guys with open trailers left Bowling Green for Indy together. I couldn't believe how much the race cars were bouncing on the trailers.
I often wondered why car trailers don't have shocks.
