Transporting show stalks

I am in need of the sage advice of other irisarians who have had to transport 
show stalks a fair distance.  Last year was the first year I had ever entered 
a show and tried transporting stalks propped with foam in wine bottles 1/4 
filled with water.  Quite a few were damaged in transport although I ended up 
winning Queen of Show with a stalk of Sterling Stitch that managed to come 
through unscathed!
If anyone could  give me some suggestions that will help me and a back seat 
full of iris stalks that are travelling at 70 mph for 2 hours make it in 1 
piece, I would GREATLY appreciate the advice!
(I know it's kind of early to be worrying about iris shows, but you know how 
time flies!)
