Rack And Panniers For Race Bike

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Do you see race cars with trailer hitches?
Yes. It's a good way to get your racing tires to the track when you don't want to pay for and garage a truck plus trailer combination.

I've also never seen a street legal car with insufficient cargo space to transport a laptop to the office.
