Beechbend Raceway has plenty of room for trailers. The Holiday Inn on Wilkerson trace has plenty of room for trailers too. I’ve never seen them completely full.
My old wagon has been to every show, but had to trailer it twice because it was not mechanically sound enough to make the three hour trip.

I have driven mine twice from Ca and trailered it once. driving it was way cheaper and much more fun.

I trailer mine, every year since the first. It’s 15 hours with a trailer. With the 4:11 gears (currently 4:56) that 15 hour drive would be 30 and very hard on the car. Truth be told if I had unlimited time and a bunch of people driving the their cars as a group, and less concern about breaking down somewhere by myself, I might like to take two weeks off and do something like that but just not in the cards so to make sure I get there with a running car I trailer.

I went in 2016, took the trailer (actually a buddy lent me his Suburban and really nice tilt trailer because he didn't have confidence in my stuff). Wanted to trailer because I planned on lots of fun runs and autocross runs. Made the drags but autocross shut down while I was in line to make a run. Also, I had just installed FiTech system and had some irritating bugs. Glad we used trailer, f.i. gave lots of problems, burnt the clutch, shifter gave problems. Still had a blast and want to go back again. Car is much more sorted now, may drive it to and from, but I like the peace of mind the trailer offers.

I drove mine onto the trailer the first couple of years. First two I rented a Uhaul trailer. Second and third years I drive it on (borrowed a trailer without a winch). The rest I used a trailer with a winch. A winch is less stressful, especially with a low power clutch car.

I trailered mine but not because it was a trailer queen, its because it wouldn't make the drive. :)
