Could someone please let me know if the car stands these gentlemen are using can be purchased from a company, or are they homemade. I'm interested in purchasing one. thanks

That's Bob & Jason Fritz. I think they buy the stand part and modify the top part. They come on here (Hobbytalk) every so often. I can check for you.

Look at Lowes, Home depot or Sears. I know Randy baker uses one just like these but not sure what store he got it from. I believe they are called workmates. :wave:

It is a Ridgid stand for table saws and material support for whatever. You modify the top (plastic) part to fit your needs. Works well and is compact.

Can be purchased at Lowes and Home Depot for about $20

I have one of those stands and would sell it to anyone that would like to buy it for $25 plus shipping. Just let me know.

PS> I can supply pics also of it to anyone that would like

I got mine at Home Depot , it was around $20 If I remember wright .

Are these stands adjustable (up & down)?

Yes Scott they are . If you get one I would recommend fashioning a different upper tray to hold the car though . The original set up is made to pivot or float when wood is slid along it . I finally got fed up with trying to keep it tight and that's gonna be a winter project , make a tray to fit the car frame .

Scott,

They are adjustable from 24" high to around 56" inches high, give or take a few. What I did with mine is that I took some PVC piping that alot of guys us to elevate their wheels off the table and mounted it on top of the stand. The frame for the GN car I used to have fit right into between the joints of the piping.

Here is the stand that I used to use when I raced. I am willing to sell this to anyone that wants it for $20 plus shipping.

Just let me know.

Randy i like that idea.Can the table rotate 360 degrees? I bought a swivel base.Mounted it to a sheet of 2x4 x 3/4" MDF for a setup table.Maybe you could use the same setup at the track. I got it at home depot.

This link below is where i got the pic.
