Default Going to Racing, need to install fire extinguisher.

I m going racing next month, well actually a drivers school and I need to install a fire extinguisher. does anyone have any ideas or tricks to install one without drilling or making it a permanent mod.
I'd like to take enter my car in car shows and would hate to have a fire extinguisher laying out.
It would look like a rice rocket. uuuuggghh.

Excellent, just what I was looking for. Thanks.

And Yes, CVCC at Pocono. See you there.
Remember it has snowed at Pocono in April.
Bring a shovel.

Have one in my car as well. Works great and takes 5 minutes to put it in and take it out if you only want it for track days.

I must be the cheapskate in the crowd, mounted parallel to passenger in rear, used a 3/16 piece of wood under carpet and stapled the houshold hanger thru the carpet into the wood. In case of emergency I can reach it, unsnap it and have it ready to use in less than 10 seconds, actually closer to five.
