Trackcars - winching on trailer

[Blue]

Hi Trackers,

how do you winch the Supra onto the trailer with the auto gearbox?
(Not being able to put it in N with the contact off?)

There is a trans brake release under the car.

That’s not doable on a trackcar which will be slightly lowered and still have the floor panelling not?

I don't even think it's doable at stock height without jacking the car up.

Crazy idea - put the car in neutral...

if the car is not broken... can't you just drive up? what would be benefit of winching vs driving up?

Winching is 5,000x easier then driving up.

You can't when it's off

So Mr Ding told me he starts car
Puts in neutral
Turns off
Then winches on
Turns on
Puts in park
Turn off.

Bro, lol. When I moved I drove up a trailer and I almost had a heart attack. I got to that spot in the accelerator when it kind of sticks and a slightly harder push will engage the beast. I was sweating bullets. And I couldn't see over the incline to see when I was over the hump. Blindly had to give it gas while being guided in by 2 people. As soon as it made it past incline, I braked and literally hit the front wedge. There was about an inch clearance before destroying my front end and launching over the front. Never again.

Simple answers are simple. Push the far left pedal and move your gear selector to a standing position.

You can verify this by rocking it left and right. You should have travel and you'll know you've got it.
