HARALD KELLEY Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I deleted the PM requesting pictures of the Race Ramps I have. Here are the pictures. Sorry I do not recall who it was that wanted them so I decided to post as it was a GT-H owner. They work great. Very light and two parts so you can access the side of the car. If I recall they are about 10 inches high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 They are great. I have a set also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 They work great. Very light and two parts so you can access the side of the car. If I recall they are about 10 inches high. Any chance you know, or can measure the angle on the ramp section with the ramps on level ground? I measured the angle between where my tire meets the ground (the front of the contact patch) and the bottom of my splitter and all I can climb is a 6 degree incline...Or was it 9 degrees? I lowered my car 1.5" in front and it's LOWWWW. To get my car up the ramps on the back of my hauler I have to use double ramps, one set placed about half-way down the truck ramps. And that's with a dovetail hauler. I can't get close to using my garage ramps but could with the car at OE height. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Phill, for trailer loading, check these out. One of the best purchases I ever made. I have the RR-TR-5 ramps(5" of lift with 4.3 deg approach angle) I used to either try and jack up the front of the trailer or drive the rear tires of the truck up on ramps to get the rear of the trailer down. It is so much easier just throwing these ramps under the door and driving right in. This is the way to go with the lower front end. http://www.raceramps.com/trailer-ramps-loading-and-hauling-extensions.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 They are not cheap but neither is a new splitter. Yes, I recently found that out! $275 from my local dealer, $160 from Tousley. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJinLV Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Love my 56" 1 piece ramps. The added front splitter clears them easily. They store easily standing up in the corner. Got mine on ebay for $200 shipped. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=race+ramps+56+-%28xtenders%29&_sop=15&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=race+ramps+56+-%28xtender%2C+xtenders%29&_sacat=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I loved mine so much, I called the Race Ramp people to make Shelby versions. Those who were at the track for the Bash saw the prototypes under my car and Keith Criswell's too.They weigh next to nothing, are "unscootable" (they stay in place, even on ICE) and the 2 piece models make it EASY to change oil, etc... They made ramps, 8 and 10 inch Wheel Cribs, trailer ramps (no more 2X4s!) , Flatstoppers (long-term pucks you put under your tires to prevent flat-spotting), a whole bunch of stuff, most with Shelby branding. I ordered a bunch, they are in stock now, available tomorrow, most likely. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are an outstanding product and like you said, very light weight. Rick Saute bought some of the displays when they were breaking down the booth and I helped carry them from one display hall to the next where our cars were on display. Can't wait to see the Shelby branded ones. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITHERTZ66 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'd be interested in a set of race ramps. If anybody wants to upgrade to the Shelby logo set, I'd be an interested buyer for your used ones if the price is right after shipping and such.

Elgin Black Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I bought a 72"(2 piece)set a few months ago. They really are the trick setup. I couldn't come close to getting my GT up on my old steel garage ramps I bought back in the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Oh thanks, Jer! I already have a set! Will you take mine in trade? My regular ramps for a Shelby branded set!?
