    Eric, I used those plastic ramps a long time. The secret to it is to always place a sheet of plywood under them so they don't can handle the load without splitting or cracking. Worked for me, anyway. Enjoy Texas !

    If You end up in the Breaks or anywhere in the area let Me know and We can meet up. This is just 2.5 hrs. from Bristol raceway. Where I live is just 1.5 hrs. from the track.

    Since you’re heading to the northeast, go to Ticonderoga NY. Besides the historical fort there’s also the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour. James Cawley the man responsible for the venue built the Desilu sets from the original series. Actors like Bill Shatner, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei and many more have been there for special events. I’ve been there three times already and enjoy it every time. He’s expanding it to also include The Next Generation sets. 🖖🏼

    Hi Eric, nice video. Haven't tried it - but wonder if filling the gaps under the plastic ramps with spray on high density foam insulation would make them last longer - of course you'd have to trim the foam until it was flush with the ramps - and THEN put wood planks under them. Worth a try.
