I’ve been wanting to build a track day roof rack for some time and finally took a spin with my first prototype

Anyway I figure this is a good place to post my first pics for feedback

yeah I know I’m late to the game by setting it up for an air cooled gutter rail but it’s sitting on standard Thule cross bars.

That's a pretty cool design.

Nice- is that car in the background trying to one up you with a canoe?

The middle tires are just wedged in there- no strap?

Has a certain cool factor.

Love it.
Quick question- where did you source the euro rear?
Thanks!

Looks sweet!
I bet it changes handling characteristics drastically?
The extra 120+ pounds over the rear would be a lot.
I would try to push them more forward if you even notice a negative impact.

I didn’t note much handling difference but I wasn’t flogging it either

i have no sunroof so maybe that helps with the cg

bumper came that that way since it’s an row car

I'm not too concerned by the handling with tires because the intent is to get to the track and then dismount it

but all the weight is on the rear bar so I may try to shift it ahead it to make the front bar do some of the work
