Aluminum jacks @ Harbor Freight They're having a pretty good sale right now... They have a 3000lb. aluminum jack for $89.99, and free shipping to boot. I ordered one last night since it will be much easier to haul that back and forth from the track.

Achtung! Take a look at the handle lengths! One is 2 feet ($99), and one is 4 feet ($129).
Still, a nice deal for $99, and who can fit a 4 foot pole in their car anyway (i.e. vette, miata)

I bought one from harbor freight, not sure the number but I can go look if anyone is interested. I don't like it. It takes almost a full swing on the handle to get it to lift. What this means is if I put it under the K member or rear end I cannot move the handle enough to get it to lift the car. It's only good if your lifting one side and can get a full swing on the handle.

Maybe one day Harbor Freight will actually ship the thing to me... 
I received an order confirmation in the mail, but they haven't even charged my credit card yet. Good thing I'm in no hurry right now.

after using REAL racing jacks.....I was not impressed.....too long of a throw to get it to lift and TOO many pumps to get it up ( er, that doesn't sound right )........They are OK for light shop use but useless in a hot-pit situation..............
