Ramp Dimensions

[Brice Farrell]

As there has been interest (From Jim, mostly) in using ramps in every corner at every race, here's my ramp dimensions in case anyone wants to build a ramp for testing/racing/sweet stunts.

Ramp Surface: 48" wide x 42" Long  1/2" plywood.

Transitional edge: 48" wide by 8" (6" should work) long 16 gauge steel, with 3" overhanging the edge

Ramp support: 4x Diagonally cut 2x8, from 0 to 6" wide, 42" long and then trimmed back 1/2" or so to size.
                        3x 6" wide lumber, approx 14" long - to close off open face + add rigidity.

Screw it all together+paint.

Our ramp has a 3" overhang to hide a propane reservoir, so the center two ribs were cut short and slightly shorter 14" 2x6's were used.

every corner of every race?  Sign me up!  Also, seat cushioning should become an unbudgeted safety item...
