S/C718Stands for a dragster
Other then jack stands what are you using when you have to raise the car up to do maintenance on your dragster. Does anyone make stands for the front and back of the car. If you have pics can you post them. Even if I have to make some I would like to see some different options.
Thanks

AlaskaracerI'm going to build a one piece stand for mine because jack stands are a pain...well, one piece for the rear and one for the front...but they will be more solid than stands because of no wobble.....haven't done it yet though

seabassYou mean to use at home or the track? If at home i use some stands for sprint cars, they work well. I found them one a website as a scratch and dent sale and got a good discount on them,

Curly1I have some Dragster dollies with wheels on them. A friend made them but surely someone sells some.
With the dragster or altered on the dollies I can roll it around in the shop. It raises it up higher so it is much easier to work on. Love them.

S/C718I want them for the house. I found some of the sprint car stands. They were pretty nice and made out of aluminum. I also saw some stands with the wheels on them to move the car around.
I think i might go with the aluminum sprint car ones.

CashflowI’ll post some pictures when I get home from Denver. I built some years ago for my roadster and now use them for the dragster. At my age I can’t imagine not having them now.

S/C718Vern,
Thanks I would like to see what you built. I ended up build a pretty nice set of stands. Once I complete them I will post a pic.
Thanks
