Default Flat towing with tow tabs

Is anybody actually doing it, even locally for short distances?

John, what's your towbar set-up?
Where is the 100' drags on Long Island?

----I once flat towed a 1960 Corvette behind a 1966 El Camino from San Jose to Cape Cod. Got caught in a bad snow storm in Indiana along the way with almost bald tires on the El Camino. It was so long ago that I didn't have a credit card and ran out of money in Ohio. Luckily, I had family in Ohio and one kind relative lent me $100. Not my best trip!.....Bill S

I know back in the day it was readily done, but is it safe towing that way these days?

Bill, great story.

If I was towing a couple hundred miles, is a two wheel tow dolly OK to use?
