At the recent SCCA Northeast Divisional Autox we had to do this when a 
guy's suspension broke. It was either roll the car on the jack or have 20 
guys pick the car up and move it that way.

Note: the wider the base on the jack, the better. You do not want to tip the 
jcak over when there is 2300 pounds of TR6 on it!!!
