The jack I saw was at 7s Only Racing, which is inside Buttonwillow Raceway
Park. It was on display, and was for sale for high 100's I believe (I hope
this is more accurate than my Makita power estimate). It was a large jack,
not low profile, and it had a long handle for lots of travel and leverage.
Two pumps looked to be enough to lift a small, low and stiff car. I was
intrigued but it hey, my 20 pump 3-ton Sears jack still _works_.
I just looked up 7s Only and could not find a listing. But you can call the
racetrack at 661.764.5333 and they're sure to have the number for 7s. I'd
ask 7's about the specs - and whether they can drop ship it from the mfgr.
so you don't have to pay shipping. FYI, I noticed that 7s had good prices
on Redline products and Motul RBF 600 ($9/bottle).
