How much room is left after you are loaded up..
I have a golf cart and after I'm loaded up with
the GC is in I only have a few inches to play
with and my race car is small.. if I were to
replace the cart I would look at a small quad..
something that has gears so it can pull a car..
my cart will pull about 4000#

I use my golf cart with a push bar & I also have a retractable tow strap on the back for other peoples cars not set up with a chute mount push bar. I also have four wheelers I could use too if needed.
I see more and more people using Smart cars with a push bar & they actually smaller than a golf cart & the people usually get to sit in the staging lanes with the A/C (not a bad idea).

I'm concerned with the weight. My trailer is 5200 empty and the car is 2850 . This puts me at 8050, tools, nitrous, etc I'm close to 9,000 loaded. I don't want a pit vehicle that's 800lbs. That Yamaha breeze looks good, as long as it can pull my car. Hopefully they are light, under 500lbs?

This should alleviate any concerns about pulling power.
