If you are just swapping tires side to side on a track day, you could just borrow a jack from the guy parked next to you and use two jacks - one on each side of the car at the rear points.

I also bring with me to the track a scissor jack. It works great in combination with my floor jack to get the other side up.

Does anyone use jacking pucks when using the jackpoint jack stands?

I keep a set in my car along with two locating pins for the wheels.

Update, swapped wheels, helped me get about 610 track miles out of the RE-71Rs. They were a bit slower by the end, but I'd say still quick until 500+. I think my new rule will be replace if over 500 miles, but If I have 490 on them, do another track day (I usually only do 80-90 miles a track day, 4 HC)

I thought they were HRE's too. If not, what are they? I like them, very nice.
