Aaron,
You really want 30% plus tow capacity to be safe on the road. Your car at 2800, trailer min is 1100 (very light!!) lbs full aluminum, figure 1900lb+ for steel. Supplies etc, add 300 lbs (not including tires). Now your just within weight, but your load is going to dictate movement ie; tail wag etc. I would want 6000 lbs capacity min with an aluminum trailer. Your call.
P.S A member of another club in our area recently had his very nice track car written off following a trailer accident (load issue), so it can happen.
