Why Race Teams Prefer Split-Style Race Ramps (And You Should Too)

Not all race ramps are created equal. If you're serious about working on your car — at the track or in your garage — a split-style design can save time, prevent damage, and make your setup safer.

What Are Race Ramps?

Race ramps are lightweight, portable tools that allow lowered or performance cars to drive up and gain enough clearance to place a jack under the chassis. Unlike sketchy stacks of wood or angled jack maneuvers, race ramps offer:

  • A safe incline
  • Repeatable clearance
  • Quick setup

But here's where things get better — SLR's version is split-style, and that changes everything.

What Makes Split-Style Race Ramps Better?

Traditional ramps are one solid piece. Once you’re up on them, you often can’t reach your jack point. Split ramps solve that:

  • Step 1: Drive onto the full ramp
  • Step 2: Remove the rear half of the ramp
  • Step 3: Jack directly under the car — no obstruction

It’s the simplest way to get under a low car safely and quickly, without risk to bumpers or side skirts.

Why Drift and Race Teams Use Them

Between runs, drivers and crew often need to:

  • Check suspension or toe alignment
  • Inspect for damage after a wall tap
  • Raise the car to swap wheels or adjust ride height

Using split-style race ramps makes this faster, safer, and more efficient.

Key Features of SLR Race Ramps

  • Split design for jack access
  • Only 2.6" of lift — perfect for low cars
  • Super lightweight — just 8.39 lbs per pair
  • Compact: 27.83" long (15.35" when split)
  • 7.87" wide to fit most tires

Better Than Wood. Safer Than Blocks.

Many drivers still use 2x4s or blocks to create makeshift ramps. It’s dangerous, inconsistent, and doesn't always work. SLR's race ramps are purpose-built for the cars we drive — low, fast, and functional.
