Getting under it today to look at brakes and figure this out lol
Last event leaving saw a guy in a nice Z06 pulling a trailer with his stuff. Did not look like the best solution but if you only have one car it works ?

Too blessed to be stressed and old track whore,
I have been using a 5000lb quick jack for almost 7 years now and love it.
Same here. Quickjacks work great, I got too old for floor jacks, etc. Swapped out front and rear suspension on QJ with redundancy of safety wheels and blocks.
The only caveat i see is the QJ uses 110v and the other uses a drill. If you want to bring it to the track that would be a consideration. Otherwise for the same money the QJ is the way to go

How do you transport wheels and tires now?
Stuffed all four in the car for awhile. Then towed the car with my truck. Now most recently, I just drive to the track on my track tires and bring two spares as backup.

Nice! 
What tires are you running?

I got the 3500 series off of Craig's List for $900. If you keep your eyes open, they show up from time to time. It's money well spent. I also have the jacking rails.
They have locks on them, but I put a jack-stand under each as well to make sure nothing silly happens while I'm underneath.

There's a guy on here that builds awesome jack plates, I have had them on every mustang I own. Of course I don't remember his name, it might be on project superbeater. If you use jacking rails the race organizers, or autocross or whatever, may view them as " frame stiffeners" and bump you a class. Now I don't really think they do much, but the SCCA is one of the groups that have historically had a dim view of jacking rails.
The ZL addd ons set screw jack pads are great they fit the aero cutouts on belly tray on dark horse. The lightweight ones are perfect and no drilling. Sounds like it’s a pain to drill the later models out
Those ZL add ons look perfect for quick floor-jacking 
@06mach1 is your guy.
I've got the 7000lb version of QuickJacks. One of my better purchases. They're quite easy to use, and they don't get in the way very often. I've got jacking rails on the Roush for when I'm at the track, too. If you're wanting to lug a set of QuickJacks around, I'd get lighter ones, but these are great for sitting in the shop.
Yes, I still make these.
I have a quick jack and works great, is a bit heavy to move around but works very well for my 2012 LS

Alright, so, if you are going to install jacking rails, how do you lift your car to install them? Just very carefully with some pads to protect the pinch welds?

Spending my pension on car parts and track fees.
Protecting the pinch welds should not be a problem. I tried drilling pinch welds on my 350R and destroyed drill bits, High speed, cobalt....no difference. The pinch welds should hold up just fine.
