Ha I'd love to but you would have to get that wheelchair spot done and probably need you to steer for me. The good news is she'll leave me with one eye to walk out the door with.

Ok if anybody is still thinking of a wheel chair spot, I came across a big rack they are throwing away. It's about 6 feet wide, 15 ft long and maybe 2 feet deep. It's a big rectangle thing they used to hang from the ceiling to hold lights and other things. It's made from 1 1/2 or 2" alum square tube. It has cross beams every 2 ft or so. If you cut it in half you could use one end for the platform and maybe split the top and bottom of the other half and maybe make a ramp, not sure. I might be able to get 2 of them, but I need to know soon, like there tossing them tomarrow or thursday soon. I forget who wanted to build one, but if this sounds like something that would work let me know. I was trying to figure out where it could go unless the timing booth is moved.
