How many people tow to the staging lanes and what do you use? I just bought a Polaris Rzr. I hope it works out ok? I want to load it side ways on my open trailer.

I use a Yamaha 200cc 4-wheeler to tow the altered, it does great.

push bar is the only way to go. no matter what you use...
Great, thanks for the input. Why is it better to push then to pull.
when you push there is not slop to worry about , you dont have to 2 people try to brake at the same time. its just an all out better situation. plus you can go forward or backward with great ease.. we went to a push bar and not looked back

We use a gas powered golf cart with a push bar on front that has two 4 wheeler tires one on each side to match up to the rear tires on the dragster,works well except on tight turns.If there are a lot of tight turns we use the tow strap.

The only thing I don't like about the push bar is that most of the race cars I help push don't have horns & there always seems to be someone that doesn't see or know you are coming up on them & are in the way.
