Default Help from anyone going to Buttonwillow 11-15?

I wanna go but not sure if i'll have a support vehicle to haul up my wheels.

Anyone have space to bring up my track wheels incase i can't find someone?

Let me know. Thanks! I'm in Whittier but I can meet up anyone a day or two before hand to drop off the wheels and will give you some gas $ or buy you lunch for your trouble.

you can fit 4 wheels in your s2k if you remove the pass. seat.

1 in trunk
2 on the floor, 1 on top of them.

there's actually still lots of room in the trunk.

You put a front tire back there. Plus you can remove the spare You've got 4 tires w/ you, why do you need it?

The spare hole opens up even more room for your undies.

You can do all 4 with the passenger seat still in, if you don't mind having the top down.

Backpack with clothes, etc. wedged into spare tire area
Rear tire #1 in trunk, with inside facing rearwards
Jack, jackstands, tools, and other doodads inside rear #1 and on either side of trunk
Fronts side by side on pass. seat with rear #2 on top - use something to cinch them all together and run the seatbelt through the fronts to help hold them in. You don't want them falling on you, or out the right side of the car.
Recommend putting something on the pass. seat (a big firm pillow works) to keep tires from resting on the seat bottom's side bolsters.
Helmet on pass. floor

Right side visibility is kinda screwed but otherwise you're good to go. They do a great job of blocking the wind!

I'm taking a minivan that can accomodate your wheels if you want to go that route. I plan to leave Thursday evening.

You mean, when putting in the rear tire, the outside of the rim is facing you, correct?

Negative. It'll fit either way, but if you put it in with the face of the rim away from you, the "cavity" of the inside of the wheel becomes an easy place to store more things in.

Is anyone aware of a trunk rack, preferably one that is removable without drilling holes, that fits the S2000 for carrying the fourth wheel? This would allow the roof up with all four. Seems like every other roadster does, but haven't found any that mentions fitting the S2000.
