Push Cars / Support Vehicles

Push cars and or support vehicles can be used by teams for a variety of activities on the Lake. Typically they are used to push start a vehicle or provide starting equipment for a vehicle. They are also used for vehicle recovery at the end of a run.

Each Support vehicle must be registered and have 3rd party insurance and have a minimum equipment level and appropriate identification, including;

  • a flashing orange light on the roof of the vehicle
  • a 5 watt (min) UHF 2 way radio mounted in the vehicle
  • first aid kit
  • fire extinguisher
  • spill kit
  • tarps for the support vehicle and competition vehicle
  • identification that it is a support vehicle

There are designated roads from the pits to the start line, from the pits to the end of the track and returning to the pits. Support vehicles must use these roads at all times on the lake.

Drivers of support vehicles are recommended to attend drivers and or rookies meetings at the start of each day to ensure they have the latest information.

Support vehicles come in all shapes and sizes
