I think he said that he found it on Amazon, Mobile Scissor Lift. His name is Jeffrey Sharp and his team is "Yellow River BBQ"

I'll ask him at the next comp in Connersville, IN on 09/03/11.

Thanks Mark.   Dang, I'd need another lift to "lift the lift"!
I'll just stick with the 'backwards belly flop' approach for now..

Looks like it was a whole bunch of Fun.

I need to make it to one of them someday.

I did see a few Backwoods out there.

That is a great placement out of 38 teams.

I've been looking for something like that lift. Amazon has a few inexpensive ones, like this:
Hydraulic Lif Table Cart (http://www.amazon.com/Hydraulic-Lif-Table-Cart-Capacity/dp/B004YM759O/ref=pd_sbs_indust_3)

After the comp my wife and I went over to Santa Claus, IN to do a little shopping. About a 15 minute drive.

After I purchased what I wanted$$$$...well can I say that I quickly became bored and was ready to make the long drive home.

Off to the next one.

Nice!  Been there MANY times...
Apparently, it's a good place to get gas between Springfield, IL... and those majestic twin spires!
Awrighten!
