Title: Help! Need a Ramp or ???
Post by: Timegrommet on July 18, 2009, 03:24:03 PM

Hi all.

I'll be going to the Saturday SSA track day and am in need of a ramp to load /unload my bike. the calculator on-line said it would need to be 7 to 8 feet long so it won't drag to bottom. I'd be happy to pay a rental fee or beer. ;D
Thanks so much everyone.

You probably won't have much luck finding one that long as most are 5'5" or so to fit in the common short box trucks. Just remember, you can always find some sloped ground and make the angle less severe. At the very front of the paddock (near the end of the straight) it is sloped and that will probably make up a foot of height. I usually unload there for a shallow angle.

Oh, and after loading/unloading make sure to move in case someone else wants to use the area.
