So Im going to be in the market for a new (to me) vehicle this summer once I pay my bike off and Im kind of torn as to what I want. I am and always have been more of a car person but I also plan on doing a few track days starting next season and I dont know how Id be getting my bike there. Any ideas? Id rather not buy a truck or suv but Im not sure if Id be able to get the bike there any way other than towing it. Do any of you track riders own regular cars and not tow vehicles? If so, how do you get there?

I have a civic and have 4x8 fold up trailer from harbor freight for my bike. Works fine.

I have a full size pickup, but you could just add a hitch and small trailer to just about anything.

I've dragged my bikes all over the country with my old 4 cyl. S-10. Anything you put a Reese style hitch on isn't going to come off of very easily.

I am not a track guy , but for towing our bikes on an open trailer I am using a Honda Ridgeline. This is a comprimise because my work has commuting so much during the winter that a V8 Pickup is no longer practical. Also Mrs. Gunnut insists that she be able to drive whatever I own. The Ridgeline will tow 2 heavy cruisers with the dry storage trunk in the bed stuffed a gear stuffed,and the bed loaded and 5 people in the cab. It is a nice comproimise it is essentialy a SUV with a bed rather than truck
