Default Wheels on roof rack or trailer?

Hi Everyone,

I have a fully caged 350z that I will be driving to the track. I live at the beach and have no room for a trailer and do not own a truck. I go to the track 3-5 times per month so cannot afford to rent each time. That being said, how do people in my situation get their track wheels to the track?

Anyone put them on the roof? Install a tow hitch and trailer them?

I'd go with a hitch an trailer. You can build your own using an inexpensive Harbor Freight trailer or since you go so often buy one made for this purpose

Trailer seems like the way to go. You can also have space for a tool box. Less stuff to load / unload from the car itsself. Very common around the pits, looks legit to me.
