I'll put it this way: no one towing a trailer seems to be scared of the CHP, but this is also coming from a guy who doesn't tow.
@Savington or @codrus might be a better source of this kind of info, I know they tow.

I regularly towed at 70-75 with my open trailer and never got a ticket. My truck doesn't like going that fast with the TPD enclosed though.
I know the CHP will target trucks for breaking the 55 mph limit, but I don't know anyone who's gotten a ticket just for doing 65-70 with a pickup+trailer.

Kinda late to the party here but I'll be pulling a trailer out from Colorado to play at MRLS. Have an AirBNB with some friends, and I'll be in the C run group. Not sure if C1 or C2 though? Reading through this thread and that's the first I'm hearing of that, unless I saw something about that at registration and completely forgot by now.

Big paddock. We are going to get some trailers there thurs night and rope off with Miataturbo.net caution tape, it's pink. So basically watch for that and hopefully we get enough space for everyone.

Typically it's arranged in rows parallel to the garages at the front, each row having a front car and a back car, and a fairly wide aisle between each. I generally try to park 2-3 rows back, in line with the end of the garages, because it's roughly equidistant between the bathrooms and the Cruisin' Cafe. This is where I intend to go on Friday morning when I arrive for TMR:
My tow rig looks like this:
I'm happy to try to mark off space with cones & pink turbokitty tape. It doesn't always work -- Laguna is usually windy and will often blow markers around. People arrive and park *****-nilly while I'm at the driver's meeting or out on track, and once they've unloaded it's usually hard to convince them to move.
tl;dr -- I'll do what I can, but no guarantees. If you want a good spot, I recommend getting there early.
