How heavy a car? How long a handle? How far does the car need to be lifted
to make the tire raise? Maybe you want to do the math on this one.
Surely a formula-car jack can lift one end of a Formula Ford with one pump.
But look how light the car is and how long the handle is.
I could easily lift the side of my Midget with three pumps of a standard
floor jack. This was no great feat, since the Midget had whomping great
sway bars. A stock Midget? No way.
