Strap it diagonally across the top of the car from all four corners.

Tiedown
OldGuy's right, through the spokes. Best if the floor hooks are mounted more to the side of the wheel less chance of touching body panels. Not straight in front of wheels.

Don't put it in a trailer. DRIVE IT TO THE LOCATION. That's the best way to get it there. I secure all of my cars thru the spokes on the rims and they do fine. Just don't leave it in gear or leave your e-brake on.

I would also suggest the E clips. You run a track down both sides of the car and they don't pull to the middle of the trailer like the D clips it appears your trailer has. The E track is easy, you drop the clips where ever you'd like if you run it full lenght and you have no chance of running the straps along your paint/splitter/bumper/rims. The only hang up is the Track is not great looking and your fancy Diamond plate floor would not be so perfect.

Thats funny H20-I know youre picking on us because in Wash State its probably 72 at the track and you can sit out and enjoy the weather.
Here its 110 at Buttonwillow or hotter at Willow springs in Oct. And we have to sit in our trailer.

The Michelins heat up better in your part of the country I'm sure. I'm in California racing in 2 weeks so I better make sure my cool suit is working and the sunglasses . Not picking on you jealous. How much track time do I get November thru March.

Thanks for the advice. I would never have thought of that.

What's the downside to leaving the e-brake on? I need to learn from the pros. TIA

If you are tracking your RS, forget the cool suit, just turn on the air conditioning!
