If you look back through this thread you'll see alot of slant back transporters from back in the day, very safe when you chain everything down and nothing easier than pulling down your ramps and hooking up a winch. The ramps also allowed easy access to the under side of the race cars. This wedge design was not only safe and practical but it gave you room for spare parts stowage, generators, water tanks, etc. I love mine and apparently so did a lot of racers and mechanics.
