I'm one of those guys that is putting his street wheels back on in the dark and the last one there usually but those hot days take a lot out of you. I did fine but wouldn't want to do it all the time especially in a suit racing.

I bought a new house and that was my plan as well but just would have screwed up usage of all my bays. My solution is going to be a scissor lift I think so I can get it a couple feet off the ground. Better than nothing and as much time as I spend working on it I need something.

Just make sure you touch up that bikini line before hand so you don't get any weird looks.

The appropriate use of fuzzy logic when convincing a significant other on the need for a lift must include the strong argument about how much safer it is to work on a car on a lift vs. wobbly jack stands...

Love this topic though. I think "The racing suit" is one of those topic that everyone has thought about, but scared to post on
Just did a racing school remotely where they provided suits. My first time EVER wearing a suit. I must say, it's was awesome being able to take that thing off, throw it in the trunk of the car, and drive home in clothing that didn't smell like I just came from the gym, which suck on those 280 mile trackday drives. Although I have admired them for a while, the wife finally got me one for Christmas, and STILL I'm embarrassed to put it on. I think it's one of those thing that it's good to have for few reasons e.g. Hpde advance run group, safety, and of course Halloween |

By the way, for anyone looking for a suit I highly recommend www.raceimage.com
They sell used NASCAR suits for super cheap. As you would expect, NASCAR teams use some of the best suits money can buy. Yes, you will look a bit like a tool wearing a suit with sponsors on it, but you're already going to look like a tool wearing any racing suit :P |

A few more options to get a proper suit (I.e., custom made):
