Well hes got to get his track tires there some how.
Some Nsxer's fill the passenger seats with tires.

i don't see anything wrong with it...i mean, its better than them being on hte inside, corroding the nice leather and what not.
Quick, someone invent something similar for the NSX for us track rats!

Necessity is the mother of invention.....what would it take to make a trunk lid with a cut out for the tires ?... weight savings for the car also...so there are many benifits.
I personally wouldnt do that but how else would you get those tires to the track?? unless you tow the car and tires with a truck....
Yikes Thats why it's nice to have freinds with trucks!

The tire rack also seconds as a child-seat.

Ingenious!

that is what your girlfriend/wife/brothers are for... folks. bribe them into carrying your stuff in their car/suv/truck to the track for you. do not let your exotic take the brunt of your u-hauling.

I once saw a viper pulling a mini fiberglass enclosed trailer color matched to his car including rims. Inside was tools and track wheels.
It looks like he's got a specially designed bracket to hold the wheels. Neat.

I'd consider it...
I've checked with the TireTail folks -- they target more "lightweight cars" -- those with smaller/lighter wheel/tire fitments. NSX-size setups, particularly upsized ones, are too large/heavy for them (trailer hitch tongue weight, etc).
Is there more info on a "hitch" fitment for NSXs ?? I saw pictures of one from the NSXPO galleries.
This LOOKS like a good idea, if it could be done on the NSX. I particularly like the way weight distribution is handled.pbassjo said:

i'd hate to let one slip and scratch the paint though..........
damage
i think there are chances for more damage than just some scratched paint if those bad boys shift or get loose and go flying while he is driving. Like other vehicles wrecking and damage to the ferrari body panels as well as to other vehicles who are trying to share the road. i would think there is far less potential for disaster if he were to use the proper equiptment... a small tire trailer perhaps.

Re: damage
I fully agree. Imagine the green in the lawyer's eyes when he sees the potential award of someone who got injured by the flying tires off a Ferrari 355!!
A little prudence here goes a long way - ie a proper tire trailer. Anyway, someone who can afford a 355 surely can afford to at least hire a taxi to help carry the tires to the track!!!
