Migrating the subject a little, the SCCA a rules (at least in Stock
Class) allow for rear trailer hitchs.

Now here is what I wonder.  Is it SIMPLY people may tow things, and no
need to take it off.  Or is there some deep down, reason (especially
on a front drive) of adding that nice centered weight to the back of
the car?  Or given the way it is mounted could strengthen the chasis. 
Not all weight is bad if it becomes a balance thing.

Your opinions?
