I've tried using heat shielding and protecting it as best as I can figure out, however as soon as the engine gets hot it doesn't want to work. It's the cheapest actuator I can buy it was like 20 bucks. 

About 5 years ago when my wife and I were looking into starting a track day rental car business using mostly sports racers as or cars we look at the Radical sr1's but they are very far and few in the states. there is pretty much only one dealer in the states that has them the other dealers said they can order us a few if we want but after some thought we decided going with the SR1 would be the best idea. We ended up going with the Rush SR's and I will say that was a mistake for a number of reason.

part of the 5 years we have owned the Rush car we were a dealer for a short part of that time and that too was a big mistake for a number of reasons. 

the Rush SR do sell very well and the Rush spec series is taking off with 30 to 50 cars running at event's. Radical has the sr1 series in the UK but nothing in the states. this has always made me question why?? the SR1's are about the same cost as a rush car they are a far better car. there are SR3 owners selling there cars and buying Rush SR's to run a the spec series because of the lower running cost and lower cost of the Rush cars. the SR1's are a perfect car for a feeder series to more powerful SR3's and other sports racing classes. If you also take into consideration of people with brand loyalty that start out in a SR1 they may also want to move up to the SR3 series ? so the question is why hasn't Radical or the Radical dealer in the states offering anything like Rush does?   

I'm looking to streamline our paddock setup this season. Right now, the car goes on the main hauler, but the tow vehicle is getting completely trashed and overloaded with all our support gear (extra sets of slicks and wets, nitrogen bottle, heavy tool chests, and multiple VP fuel jugs).

I’m planning to buy a dedicated support trailer just for the pit gear and maybe a pit bike. I'm currently pricing out a standard 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer to use as a blank canvas for this.

For those of you who use a separate smaller trailer for your paddock support:

1. How high up the wall do you mount your E-tracks for tire racks? I want to keep the center of gravity low, but I still need room underneath for rolling tool carts.

2. How are you securing your 5-gallon fuel jugs? Do you build custom wooden racks, or just strap them to the wall tracks?

I'd love to see some photos of the interior of your gear haulers if you have them. Thanks!

Hi does anyone know where I can find the rear bodywork and a complete bi-plane wing with uprights for a 2005 SR8 ?

Any help would be appreciated as I am in South Africa and have no options locally
