I had two track bikes on top of my car 4 hours each way to race at Rock Hill yesterday. Track bikes are fine on top of cars. No need to do anything special.

I have a roof rack and my track bike is transported 50% of the time on top and 50% of the time inside of my car.

Many people simply put their track bikes inside of their cars because the wheels come off easily and it's not an issue when I stop somewhere between the track and home. Bike is locked away inside.
