Not exactly Type 65, but I thought you might get a kick out of this...

Things turned out okay. I think that picture is in a series shot by Dave Friedman. There was a great link posted on the other forum.

Allen Grant did that. He told the whole story at the London Cobra Show when he was the guest speaker in 2012. He said you had to have a little speed to get up the ramp. He was about halfway up and realized he didn't have enough speed, so he goosed the throttle. When he hit the throttle, it shot out the ramp the left rear tire was on. No damage except to Allen's ego.

Thanks for the link. That is a real flash from the past and a serious time killer.

I've done that before loading my race car on the trailer. Mine was low enough though that I just put a jack under the axle and lifted it up enough to get a ramp back in. Almost hit someone with the ramp though as it shot backwards.
