Also you can use the jack on the trailer to lift the front of the trailer to decrease the loading angle. Or more extreme but effective is run the back wheels of the tow vehicle up on ramps, like the ones you use to change oil, etc.

I said screw it and got the Race Ramps. Tried to rig up some wood ramps and just looked like DIY crap. Told myself I wouldn't go that route with this car. Race Ramps work great, easy to store, light and strong. Wood is heavy, full of splinters and brings out the redneck in me.

Hey, go with what works for you, I say! Glad you found the solution that worked for you. As a dyed in the wool DIYer, I have spent too much time, energy, dollars and blood trying to do things that others are far better than me at, so as I've gotten older, I've used my comparative advantage (sorry...economist) to buy those things I used to think I could make. Sometimes the stuff other people make is pretty impressive!

Don't forget to flip the car back over before you hit the track, or you might scratch the roof.

Looks good, I am patiently waiting for my set to arrive. Any tips on the install? Are the mirrors and wing painted or wrapped? Thanks

Make sure to have heat gun, adhesive remover, and some floss lol. Be careful with 3 bolts on each side cause they strip easy. The whole car is wrapped.
