I've used a Condor stand that other friends have. They work great. I think there are a few others out there that are similar.

 

We use the condor chocks in the pits and in the trailer. Might have a few for sale too. Can bring to Blackhawk. PM if interested.

if you have amazon prime, free shipping. cheap, sturdy and adjustable. i have one.

 

You get what you pay for. Thats why I use the Condor chocks. Baxley makes a good one as well.

 

I much prefer the "Trackside" chock. The support bars are flat on the bottom and have predrilled holes for mounting to a trailer. Also because of the shape (see pics) they fit perfectly between the seat mounting brackets in my van minimizing movement of the chocks during transport. They seem to me much more stable than the others.

I've had one of these for a few years now. They are very sturdy and stable, however they're much better for transportation when it's fixed down than to use in a paddock or garage. Getting the bike out of it without it being bolted down is a huge PITA! Last time I tried it I was dragging it and the bike all over the floor. Also, putting your bike in it when you come off the track with a hot tire is the last thing you want to do. Hot tires will stick to it like glue, and then it makes it even harder to get the bike out. I'm thinking of spraying mine with some PTFE coating (Teflon)...or at least the two pieces that are in contact with the tire. Hopefully that will make it stick less.

 

That's true, it does tend to stick to the tire. I've had to kick the chock off the tire many times while trying to back it out. I only use it for transport though but I can see why it would be a pain in the paddock trackside. I've actually used a plastic bag over the top of the chock to keep it from sticking to the tire but I like the teflon idea......
