Track stands

[searafter35]

Anybody got advice on a track stand that works for long tracks. Maybe even something you built yourself or just found that works really well?

well the other day when I was adjusting my track and suspension, I wrapped a tree strap around the rafters, an axle strap around the rear bumper and connected the two with a come-along, and just lifted it up.... bonus is you can go as high as you want/need, no matter the track length or hieght... but you need some sort of sky-hook.

That's kinda cool.

What do you mean by fast reflexes? I had no prob twas still in the trailer when I did it.. so the whole unit, with the raised rear end was at a good working height.. well coulda been higher... but it was better than being on the ground.

i use a 4x4 that is notched just for storage. my buddy has 2 4x4's that are mounted together with 2x4's and has some feet for it made from 2x4's that method would be better for maintenance. cheap is the way to go

Sounds like something I would do...figuring on being able to scram when my redneck contraption went TU.

Ahh ok.. heh my idea came in plenty handy when I tried to load the sled into my trailer... accidentally drove half way off the front... couldn't get it back ont he trailer... so I used the come along to winch and hold it as far back as it would go... backed into the garage... lifted the front end up.. drove the car/trailer forward... and the sled went back into place on the trailer.. that was a little hairy... never thought of unhooking the trailer, dropping the coupler to the ground and just drive it off.
