Ranger QuickJack lift system
I thought I'd share here with the Corvette community some information that I'm posting about the Ranger Quickjack lift system. I'm posting this here as it is designed with the racer in mind that need to lift a car at the track.
Take a look, I'll be posting more information as I do the evaluation.

It is a great lift. A few of us here have already bought the QuickJack and we are using it at the races:

As I mentioned here (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/1587196286-post11.html), if you separate your 2 hydraulic lines, you'll be able to place the jacks from the outside. This is much easier, effective and convenient than trying to pull the lift from under the car.
The Corvette is the only car I have used so far that matches the jacking points of the lift (putting the rubber pads at each end). For all other cars, it is way too small. If you have plastic covers for your rocker panels and under your car, the pads will crush them outside the jacking points. You cannot turn the pads 90 degrees, they won't fit at the front of the lift unless you cut them. I ended up cutting my rubber pads to fit on other cars without crushing the plastic covers. There is definitely a number of flaws but for the price, it's pretty good.
