For the quick lift procedure, start by lifting at the right rear lift point and get a stand under the right front. Repeat on the left side and the front is in the air. Then I lift at the center rear and place both rear stands either under the lift points in front of the wheels oR under the diagonal crossmembers, depending on where I need to work.
And for the OP, last year I did 20 AX events. Here's the rough budget:
20 entry fees @ $35= $700
20 140 mile round trips = $560
2 sets of tires @ $1000= $2000
2 oil changes @ $100= $200
Incidentals= $250
Total= $3710
Pretty cheap for a solid year of auto racing. Boat racers spend that much on Advil!
