Howdy,

Just thought I would post a few pics of my weekend race rig. Dalan 1/4'" hitch and a Thule tray rack.

Looks terrific :smile: but is that legal (with it sticking that far out)? Not trying to bring you down here -- just curious

Good point. No issues yet and I ran this setup 4 to 5 times a week during the spring, summer and fall.

Nice! :smile: I've wondered how well a hitch rack would work with a MINI, although I'm not sure I'd trust one to hold my race-bike, which is about 2-3x heavier (Intense M-1)

With that much leverage the M1 might cause the MINI to pivot about the rear wheels and lift the front off the ground.

That's quite an expensive bumper.

With it on the back, you'd still fit in the garage. I should show that to my boss who just replaced his Honda's roof.
