It's a beautiful day, if you're in Las Vegas, why aren't you trackside at the LVMS watching the Optima Street Car Invitational? The cars are incredible!


if you're like me, and love muscle cars and sports cars of the late 60's, then I recommend seeing the Optima Challenge cars, they are simply the coolest and most direct form of the cars we are obsessed with, going fast, making noise, smoking tires, spinning out now and then around corners, and so on




a great portable lift for use in the pits! I love this! Seen in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational pits



they slide right under low cars like this Corvette,


and with this tiny Honda generator that is so quiet,


powering this hydraulic mechanism



controlled by the hand held corded remote, it raises the car up enough to change tires, adjust suspension, etc. Even puts enough space under that car that you can put safety floor stands under the car too if you need to slide under with a creeper. 

I'm very impressed. Once raised it clicks into slots in the jacks, preventing a drop if loss of power or hydraulics, and you must give it a little bit of a lift to release those clicked in locks, and then it lowers
