I think Im going to need longer boards


Success!

















unsure on the front mounting points...think I need to get some D rings welded in. Or could I just run some of these through the side pockets on the trailer? http://www.lowes.com/pd/SmartStraps-...-Down/50372804
Loading them low vehicle is a pain. Atleast its a pretty short wheel base. This Vmax truck was a paaaaiiiiin to load and unload. 144" wheel base, big n littles. It ended up getting stuck on the trans crossmember at the track when we were loading it back up

Yeah, I think loading on an incline actually helped me out by making the the initial angles less acute. At any rate we'll try this again @ VIR in September.
