I have a question after seeing your products pics...where is the safety anti-roll back down the ramp bump located? Seems a little dangerous that the car could easily roll back down if for some reason you did not have it in gear. For example...changing the oil with these would come handy to drive it up onto the ramp...put in gear to change oil, but I have to roll the car back down off the ramp before starting up to check that all is tight and secure with the oil filter and drain plug? Even if my parking brake worked better I would never crawl under my car with the way these are designed allowing the car to roll back so easily. Do you have another picture that shows these having an anti-roll back bump stop?

in the pic below....there IMO is not enough room for error as the tire looks like it barely sits completely on the platform before it would start to roll.

FWIW:
can't post any pics, but I do have a set of your Race Ramps mounted inside my 20' car toter...
allows me to get under either the Camaro or the 'Vette to access tie-down points for safer trailering, and also provides a mobile "shop~with~lift" if a mobile garage is needed during tours.
they are a very safe, durable product.

When we did our R&D on all of our ramps we study this bump and found that unless you had skinny tires and got them lined up just right this bump had little to no effect. We also felt that it gave you a false sense of security.
Since most of our ramps are designed for sports cars that have wide tires we went to a flat top.
We can not over state the need for the use of wheel chocks and even have our own that is very grippy and works with our ramps.
If your parking brake is that bad I would recomend that you have a helper chock your wheels once your up and on your ramps.

Rhino Ramps, $35 at any auto parts store or Kmart.

Work great on my '71 & '88 'vettes, '83 280ZX, and '99 Mountaineer, and they have a nice "well" area for the tires to rest in so they don't roll backwards.

I'd spend the money saved on a tank and a half of gas for cruisin' before the summer's over.

My 2 cents.
