There are 2 different ways to tie down a race car. one way is to have web straps made up which go over each wheel and attach to the bed of the trailer with a snap at each end of the strap. Then you have recessed hitch rings in the trailer bed to attach the snaps to. The strap also has a rachet built in to tighted the strap. The advantage of this setup is that it allows the cars supension to move freely on the trailer thus asorbing the bumps. The other way is to tie down the frame of the car with mounting brackets that are attached to the car but this is a poor way to do it as the car gets hammered on every bump. We used the wheel method for 35 years on our racing team.

Check the archives. This has been discussed several times recently.

The Dodge Viper Service Manual recommends using the holes in the front and rear frame members to secure the car to the trailer or flat bed while towing.

Has anyone actually bought over the wheel tie downs that fit stock runflats?

I've started looping the strap through the wheel spokes. I got the idea from a trailered Porsche I saw.

any wire rope or rigging supply company can make them up for you. We use Pauls Wire Rope in Branford, ct 06405. The material is the same as is used in slings for rigging.
