The *real* challenge.. how do I (first acquire but then) setup a
Travelette so it can tow my racer (and/or my '77.. get a double car
flatbed) at 70mph with ease, climb mountains faster than 35mph, and get
20mpg?

Then I wouldn't have to worry about mileage in the 4.88/31s racer, or
the 4.10/33s street/trail rig.

Of course, it's most likely a pipe dream... ;-)
