At the track you need tools and supplies, as well as someone to help you. Don't go to the track by yourself! In case of a crash you need to be able to get home! It's not just an issue of the bike being damaged.
I crashed during a race and ended-up in the local hospital with a broken collarbone and a few other injuries. Luckily a friend loaded my equipment for me and came to pick me up at the hospital (getting you back to the track isn't their problem) and drove my truck home - as I couldn't shift the manual trans (much less load up my stuff - and the track was closed by the time I was ready to leave the hospital).
You need to have someone there, just in case...

I might check out the hitches again then, or maybe just get a pick-up. I was thinking about getting a different vehicle this summer anyway.
