Default Anyone who also has an SUV interested in a hitch mounted bike rack?

<center><img src="http://snydermotorsports.tripod.com/temp/terragate2_1.jpg"></center><p>Before I put this on eBay and have to figure out how to ship it, I thought I would ask here. I have a Yakima TerraGate II. This is a 2" hitch mounted bike rack that holds 3 bikes (2 is standard but I upgraded to three), has both security locks (to the hitch and to keep the bikes on), and the really nice thing is that it swings to the right so you can open the back gate of your SUV. The top tube of the bike rests on the rack, and the bottom piece can move right or left to attach to the down tube. This keeps the bike from pivoting into the back of the car. It works pretty well and I never had a problem getting bikes on.

I love this rack, but I've sold my SUV and it would look stupid on my Focus. IT cost about $375 when it was new, but I'll let it go for $195 locally. If anyone is interested, email me.

Thanks,
Rick

Default Ummm, you might say pretty well! ;)

Actually, it was awesome. After warming up I threw down a 1:19.33! By comparison, the 944 I ran last year turned a 1:20.86 as a fast time. And, this was without the new suspension or race tires. So, the car should do low 1:18s or maybe even high 1:17s and this is the SLOW car. My unlimited car will have another 30-75HP, better suspension and brakes, and be 450lbs lighter. It's going to be a fun year. First race is Sunday, March 28th, you should come!
