We are trying to keep the weight down and it would be nice to fill up nearer the track.

Welcome to the MRA trailer park... you've just increased the likelihood of a tornado wiping us all out by 6%... :lol:
From experience, the difference in hauling water such a short distance and "not" hauling water is negligible... and it's way more convenient to do it all at home when you're not pressed for time, and while you're multi-tasking loading all your other crap into the trailer. Make sure to fill it up ALL THE WAY so it's not sloshing all around and upsetting your rig.
It takes about 20 minutes to fill mine from empty - not time you'll want to waste sitting at KOA when you're amping to get to the track. You'll get to spend plenty of time there AFTER the races on Sunday dumping your poo tank as it is. $5 in Strausburg, and the people are nice...
Now if you were going to Miller or someplace far away, then it would be different.
If the trailer is new (or maybe even moreso if it's used and you don't know the maintenance history...) you'll need to sanitize the fresh water tank with bleach/water solution, drain it, fill it, drain it, and then fill it again before using it. Otherwise you'll be in the flush-o-potty all weekend with giardia...
And, finally - don't be like Jim Brewer:
