whats the matter Ryan dont you like seeing lots of sky hehehehehe. I was worried the ramps were going to buckle they look so thin....clearly they are rated for the job. reminds me when i used to load my rally car onto the trailer the ramps were so slippy i had to get a run onto them.. it was very much a case of "go go go go go BRAKE !"
hahaha awesome stuff i am geen with envy.

Richard,
Here's looking forward to what you will be doing in September in IJmuiden.....
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G1-bk9RsS0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl8zdEkrvTwRunning scared yet? It's quite frighting the first couple of times. Driving up the ramps you can see only sky at a certain point. Then it topples over and you can only hope you are in the middle of the trailer!  Jeff, does that describe it accurately in your opinion? Cheers,

I built My ramps out of 3x 12 C Channel with Short bits of Rienforcing rod welded to the bottom for Traction. The sides on the C channel Have held the Carrier in place on several Questionable loading sites. Quote:
Funny seeing a Carrier suspended from some Chains 20ft in the Air. Jeff Last edited by Hanno Spoelstra; 18-01-11 at 09:01. Reason: fixed formatting
