    Anyone got any cool Drag Week specific gadgets they are taking?

    Here are a couple I am taking. First I found some slick folding jackstands to save space since I am carrying all my stuff in my trunk. I modified them for extra height. While I wouldn't want to use them for an engine swap or transmission change, they will work fine for oil changes, tire changes etc... I also made a couple of wrenches to speed up my carb swaps at the track. One I cut two wrenches, a 11/16 and 7/8 in half and welded them together and the other is an old old thin wrench, probably my Grandads, that was a 7/8 that I filed out to 1". Anyone else got some cool stuff to show? If you have time, that is!

    I welded a deep socket to my star bar to reach over the long studs out back. Then a few small tools here and there that make specific task on my car easier/quicker.
    Escaped on a technicality.

      I got a surplus Army jack for a M151 Jeep, screw type jack, to use to change slicks. More work to use it, but it's light and doesn't take a lot of trunk space. And looks more 1960s than a modern chinese floor jack. I also got a Jeepers Creepers folding foam pad to lay on under the car, a step up from the cardboard I've been using for a few years. I forget what else I got, it's been a long summer of collecting stuff.

          Get a yoga mat for when you have to lie on the ground! They work great.
