Track Tires transport

120lbs? Yea right, we wish.

88.4 + about another 65% of that for skinnies. ~140, assuming skinnies and not running street tires on the front. 120 isn't too far off.

Those aren’t track wheels/tires to me. Those are for the dragstrip. Turning things are better.

Plus, @puzzled rarely even drives his car, let alone sees a track or dragstrip. Probably afraid of a stone chip.

I know you meant circuit/road/autox/time attack whatever corner spinny circle track.. but... from the definition:

> A dragstrip is a straight, purpose-built *racetrack*, typically an eighth, ten feet longer than three-sixteenths, or a quarter of a mile long (660/1,000/1320 feet, 201/304.8/402 m), with an additional shutdown area to allow vehicles room to stop after crossing the finish line.

I'm just busting your balls, but we should all just be specific when saying, 'race track.'

Definitely waiting on this one...

Try 200lbs+. That would be about 7 bikes worth on top (if the bikes are 30lbs each)

Approx 20lbs for a good track wheel in 18x10.5 and 30lbs or so for the tire. My current setup is around 206lbs for all four wheels/tires.

I think the seasucker is only rated for about 150lbs.

No way would I put 200lbs of wheels/tires on a suction cup rack. Under hard braking or getting hit from the rear, that combo would quickly turn into some Final Destination content.

But he can carry 2 wheels inside so usually 60lbs x 2 = 120lbs where I come from…?

Without denting the hollow parts? That's my concern. Either drag pushes the wheels down into the roof panels or vice versa, pulling up on the suctions to the point where now there's high spots where the suctions were. I know the roof is made to support the cars weight in an event of roll over, but that's the inner structure, the skin itself is relatively flimsy.

Usually you don’t mount the roof rack on the center of the roof.. but along the rails (towards outside).. but personally I wouldn’t want to mount that on my Supra regardless..

Drag strip = car bowling
Race track = mario kart

You keep saying car bowling, but I really don't get it. There are a bunch of pins at the end to knock down, less cars involved when there is a crash than "race track" driving, I might be dumb, but I don't get the joke.

Car bowling = cars thrown down a straight lane with guardrails. Always the same length no matter what.
Maro kart = driving fast while turning with thousands of different configurations and length, also avoiding banana peels.
Garage queen = Never driven, always admired. Usually own multiple clothing items with the cars logo on it. Aka, Puzzled.

You should... but make sure famous has given consent first.

And I really need that trailer hitch... the sideways looks alone on Home Depot runs would make it worth every penny.

Not at all... your posts have just as much value as mine... oh wait, that does suck. Seriously though - out of all the plushy monkeys posting here, you're my favorite.

I'm going to hit up U-Haul for my Supra. They put a trailer hitch on a BRZ for me. It looks great, was super cheap, works well, and not too much extra weight. They usually can figure out a set up that can work without going custom.
