Hi to you all I had a good trip away . Just over 12,000 k What I would like to ask is your help with towing and thought this is a good place to ask as you no about it my son has just finished building the motor on his drag car and there is a lot more weight in the front of the car now the trailor when towing before was fine but now he is having trouble towing as it is getting a bad sway when pulling the drag car on the trailor if you have any ideas please let me no . Snips
You could try reversing car on trailer. The problem is the trailer has too much weight on tow ball thus raising the front of the tug vehicle. A weight distribution hitch may give you enough relief.

Without knowing type of tow vehicle, configuration of trailer axles and actual weights of all axles and drawbar both unloaded and loaded then any advice will be at best, speculation. If your son has the ability to build a drag racing car then he would probably have the skills to assess his trailer weights and move or reposition the trailer axle assembly to achieve approx 10% of trailer ATM on the towball when loaded. It goes without saying that if the tow vehicle is not rated to tow the ATM of the trailer then any exercise may be fruitless. Good luck with it.
Regards
Rob
