This is an excellent question. I was hoping to use my pda to log but it turns out that my dell axim does not have a fully functional serial port.
I think that either strapping the laptop to the seat or putting it in the footwell of the rear seat are possibilities.
The other issue is that you need to keep the top open. My laptop is on the larger side and the screen tends to move around alot under bumpy conditions. I was thinking about putting a piece of foam near the latch and clamping it down somehow.
Speaking of bumps (we have many in CT), I also wonder about a hard drive platter crash.

I have had success simply putting the laptop on the passenger floor. With the lid open, pushed forward mine sort of secures itself.
For some reason it worked flawlessly one day but had limited run time the other.
Your best bet would be to purchase some really soft foam as a bed and "crammer"
Kind of a disappointment seeing how little time a RR car sees at full throttle. oh well, the tps would look better on a car with half the hp (and a better driver).

Why does your lid have to be open? Just change your settings so the computer doesn't hibernate or standbye when you close the top.

I just asked the event leaders if I could have a friend hold it and they were cool with it...but it was a test and tune autocross event, not a competitive one. In a competitive one, I put the laptop on the passenger floor, lid closed with the floor mat on top of it. Don't do that for so long, cuz it tends to build up heat under there.

put it on the passenger seat, then use the seatbelt and wrap it such that the pc is snug against the seat and the backrest ..
If you have a tablet even better .. get a harsh environment case and sling the straps to the seatbelt
