I don't see a problem. Until he tries to stop.

I never had a problem and you wouldn’t believe the 50 mile trip I made to this track. We towed with lots of cars back years ago. The hitch was custom made on my Cutlass. The track was Nu-Be in New Bethlehem Pa.

I wouldn't want to be the guy towing that up and down the hogback hill going up 28 to newbie. Lol
I'm not a big fan towing up that hill with my pickup.

Ohhhhh it’s so much nicer taking that trip now. When I was 16 and driving we camped in Frogtown about 8 miles north of New Bethlehem. Towing my Dads trailer on the way home I still remember him saying “get your foot off the brakes” you while only be giving it gas again to make it up the other side of the mountain. Lol. I still make that trip to New Bethlehem heading to M&S meats and longguns five miles up the road.

Looks great, did that '72 have discs? My '71 Cutlass Supreme has 9.5" manual drums all around, trying to stop quickly above 65-70mph is....a bit dicey shall We say.

Drum brakes on
The Cutlass but the trailer had four wheel brakes.

Small world I actually own a house right in town that Im remodeling to sell or rent. I drive by the old drag strip multiple times a week, I dont remember it ever being open but i heard stories.
 
I'd consider getting a teardrop trailer with a CVT on top for your co-pilot. I know several people that went cross-country on motorcycles with them. Pulled over to sleep. Never stayed at a hotel. Sounds good to me
