Does anyone have room to take a set of wheels to and from Nationals for me? I am trying to drive to Nats this year and not tow as I have in the past. The wonders of a street tire class

The RX-8 might even get better mileage than the tow vehicle! It'll be close though :lol:

It must be RX-8 week. You guys ARE aware that Jason Isley has a tire trailer for sale listed on the forum right? Maybe he'd allow it to go for a test drive. 8-)

Sorry, not trying to install a hitch on my RX8 just b4 nationals and it kinda kills the no trailer aspect of the drive. If I have to I will tow my car out but being on such a tight budget I am hoping someone will have room. Sad to say but 18 to 20 mpg on RX8 is at least double what my truck gets so I am really trying to save wherever possible.

Thanks all for looking, if you have extra space and could use a little gas money let me know.

Steve- I used to be able to stuff 4 racing wheels/tires in my RX8 without much trouble. Is this not an option?

Actually I am taking four tires with me in the car but crazy as it is. I have 4 shaved(worn) tires for dry, 4 full tread for rain and the street tires I am coming in on. This is a street tire class right lol.

And thank you everyone, once again the calclub family has stepped up and helped out so I am good to go. See you all there.
