My car got on fire

Hey everyone,

As some of you may know, my car caught fire this past weekend at Podium Club. In order to avoid any speculation, I decided to share what happened and hopefully help others avoid making the same mistake I did.

After driving my car intensively for three years and putting over 150 hours on it—while still having a strong engine—I decided to send it to Late Entry Motorsport in Kansas for a full refresh. I had also requested that a spare engine I bought on eBay six months ago be installed.

Unfortunately, the engine was not in the condition the seller had listed, and my regret is not opening the box within the 30-day return window. When Scott Donaghue opened the box, he suspected the engine had been involved in an accident due to weld marks near the oil filter. Scott recommended that I wait for my original engine to be rebuilt and set the eBay engine aside. However, without giving much thought to the consequences, I went against his recommendation and decided to move forward. That poor decision caused the weld to crack and leak oil all over the track. Luckily, I managed to trigger the fire suppressor in time and save the car.

Despite being pretty upset about the situation, not only did Scott offer me his spare car for the rest of the day, but the team also told me they would install my rebuilt original engine and get the car ready for the next day. Scott and the entire team—I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me this weekend. Although I didn’t have the best day, you guys truly made my day, and I will never forget the service, support, hospitality, and friendship you showed me.

At midnight, even though I kept insisting that I should go home and that I didn’t need to drive the next day, the whole team stayed up until 2 a.m., committed to finishing the car. The least I could do to show my appreciation was stay with them until they were done.

I chose to send my car to Late Entry Motorsports for a full refresh because of the huge amount of knowledge, tips, recommendations, and professionalism Scott has shown me over the years. I’m so glad I made the right decision, as the car not only looked brand new but was better in every aspect.

Once again, this is why I love RUSH. Every race, the drivers and dealers make us feel like family. I was offered so much help from so many different people that I don’t think any other series compares.

Official Misalignment Spacer

With our continued effort to improve longevity, performance, and reliability of the SR, we are pleased to announce a few new features. Please review the following Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) regarding the Misalignment Spacer for more information.

Chassis #55 for sale

2022 Rush SR for sale

Price: $39,999 CAD

Location: Alberta, Canada

Hours: ~62 hours

Selling my 2022 Rush SR, a properly sorted, turn-key car that is ready to run immediately. This is an excellent opportunity to get into a modern sports racer at a meaningful discount versus new.

I am selling as I used this car to obtain my FIA international license. Now that I have the license I’m off to GT racing and no longer can use this platform. This is a great car to get started racing in as it’s spec ready and cheaper than most build outs with Porsche level performance. Awesome platform to practice left foot braking without any electronic controls.

Never had an accident, car has been ran for 3 race seasons and comes with WCMA Racebook logs. I have personally sorted this car to be race ready and have ran it for a complete race season without missing a start or DNF a race due to anything mechanical. 2nd in points over the 2024 season at wcma to show for it which got me my FIA IntC. So a great platform to start racing in :)

Car Highlights
  • 2022 Rush SR chassis #55
  • ~62 hours total runtime
  • Paddle-shift transmission (no-lift upshift / auto-blip downshift)
  • Runs strong, shifts cleanly, new clutch pack put in as well as a spare to be included
  • Comes with all the options when the car was built out… will update list over the holidays.
  • M size OEM seat

This car has been used as intended—track days and racing. It has been maintained properly, warmed correctly, and all mechanical issues addressed when arose. Normal cosmetic wear is present and fully reflected in the price. The car is race ready as it stands and mechanically sound and readt.

Currently stored indoors in climate control.

Also comes with additional parts included in the price:

- New poly front splitter and mounting kit.
- new chain
- new clutch pack
- new set of lug nuts
- additional set of rims and tires. Tires are at 70% off car and 20% on car.
- and some small electrical connectors and other tiny parts that will come with.

Message for questions and I will be updating this listing with more details over the holidays.

I am also willing to sell to USA buyers at the prevailing exchange rate plus shipping costs which can be worked out if it comes to that.

Chassis #205 FOR SALE

I took ownership of her in October 2024 as new. She’s since been used at seven track days so should have approximately 10 hours on her.

Sale includes one new front and one new rear wheel as spares as well as a complete set of extra tires.

Located in northeast PA but could possibly work out delivery to new owner depending on situation.

The car’s been reliable and an absolute blast, but I’m selling to step up to a Radical SR3.

$51,000
