[RC] Trailer towing - ranch"...rodeo grounds with a big, heavy car pulling ..." If you were doing this before about 1975 these big heavy cars shared the same frame, engine, and brakes as a half ton pickup of the era. They were rated with adequate towing capacity for a 2 horse trailer. No they were not ideal, but they were much more suited for towing than automobiles of today. By the way, when I was young, automobiles did not have seat belts. Even endurance riders did not use helmets. Chemists routinely heated Benzene (cancer) over open flames. People smoked when and wherever they wanted. Vermiculite containing asbestos was mined in Libby, MT in such a manner that it contaminated the whole town. The Cuyahoga river routinely caught fire in Cleveland, OH. While I am not a big fan of much of the modern changes in our culture, many old practices were actually very dangerous and unsafe. We were lucky to survive.
