Before Starting - Warnings

The RUSH SR race car is a high-performance vehicle designed for track use only. Its proper maintenance and operation are critical for your safety. Improper maintenance, use, high performance events or competitive racing in general, can result in major injury or even death. Never drive the RUSH SR beyond your ability, and beware of other vehicles on track at all times.

During the winter, the SR may be shipped to you without any coolant. We do not use Glycol-based coolants, as they present a major safety issue if spilled on track. Only use water with water wetter. Fluids should be checked before each startup of the car. Never remove the radiator cap while the system is hot!

It is NOT recommended to ever engage gear on the car with the body work removed as there are unprotected moving components such as the chain and driveline that could cause severe harm or injury.

Never operate the RUSH SR without the seatbelts securely fastened and with the driver wearing appropriate safety gear. Full FIA / SFI fire rated safety gear is recommended at all times, together with a full-face race-approved helmet.

Safety System Requirements

Fire Suppression System: Inspect the fire suppression gauge before every event. The gauge must be in the GREEN zone before going on track. Ensure all nozzles are aimed properly and the fire pin is installed. The system must be professionally certified every 2 years.

Driver Harness: The driver harness must be replaced every 5 years regardless of apparent condition. Inspect before every session for frays, cuts, or damage. Never use a harness with broken or missing buckle pins.

Fuel Cell: The fuel cell must be replaced every 5 years. Inspect foam baffling regularly for deterioration. Dual fuel tank cars must have only ONE check valve installed — never both.

Mandatory Before Every Session: ALL tools, rags, and trays must be removed from the car before going on track. A single forgotten rag can cause a fire.
