Topic: any surplus scissor jacks out there for NHMS delivery?

Hello all who plan on attending Halloween Hooptiefest!

My older son's 4th grade class has constructed a chicken tractor (portable coop) this fall, and one thing it could use is some leveling jacks.

https://lemonsfiasco.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_2973.jpg

Do any of you have any surplus scissor jacks from your hoopties floating around that I could bolt/weld/zip-tie to the corners of this thing so when the class figures out they can see-saw this thing there's something preventing their imminent demise?

If you can help, bring your surplus jacks to the central garage stall 23 (the Merkur, car 138).

Thanks!

I've got at least one from the new car. I'll do my best to remember to throw it in the car and bring it.

I got a spare one I can give you. I'll have it packed and bring it to NHMS for you.

I've got plenty of beer. Bringing two 5 gallon kegs. Swing by when the track is cold and you can have a scissor jack and beer.

I'm in the center garages, HQ half, across from Three Pedal Mafia.

Wow, center garages are going to be a bit rediculous, you have 2 kegs, we have a hot tub, SFPR will bring the party as usual, and Bert has the livingroom set.  No matter what happens with the car this will be a good time.

I'm greatly looking forward to it. My logitech wheel appears broken, so I can't do my driving setup. I may consider bringing the projector anyway and throwing my old N64 up against the garage door.

Let me see if I can get my G27 back from a buddy. I might be able to bring that up... unless you want me to bring my fanatec setup ;-). I'll contact my buddy tomorrow for the Logitech setup too.

Only if you have a seat/frame for it as well. I took mine apart when I found out the g25 was dead (it was 2x4s and falling apart anyway). I'll throw the PS3 in the car either way though.

If I can fit my plays eat in I will, don't know how much room I will have. I'll have a better idea on Thursday night if I can or can not. It will not fit in my wife's car and I'm jumping in with Russian to drive up. I can bring my PS3 too :-). Maybe I'll get the G27 also. I'm sure we could conjure up some sort of setup for 2 seats. I'll keep you posted

Re: any surplus scissor jacks out there for NHMS delivery?

Fiasco, I never got to give you the jack. If you still need it I'll happily get it to you. Shoot me an email and we'll work it out.

Re: any surplus scissor jacks out there for NHMS delivery?

Yeah, went to find both you guys and you were either busy on the car or nowhere to be found. Then Sunday our car lost boost so we just threw the POS on the trailer and left early.

I'll try to catch up with TheEngineer.
