Nothing is more frustrating than having to come off the drivers stand, run all the way out onto the track, flip your car back over, and run all the way back just to crash again a few laps later when practicing alone. While browsing one of my favorite R/C Facebook Group Pages, "Backyard RC Tracks", I found this video shared by group member Joe Vachon.

Joe says, "The PVC arm is raised and lowered with a crawler winch pulley and cable attached to a hi torque servo with the potentiometer removed (it’s just zip tied to the back side of the rear shock tower). I use a cheap crawler radio that has a three way switch for the 3rd channel. Up, neutral, down. Pretty easy to make."
