(Bowling Green, Ky., 09/14/2010) – Drag racer Mark Ruset may not have made it to the final round at the Lucas Oil Division 3 race in Bowling Green, Ky., last month, but he is still a winner – especially to Safety Solutions, Inc.
Ruset, who runs a 1968 Rally Sport Camaro G/SA, won an “Extreme Cockpit Makeover” from Safety Solutions, Inc., makers of quality safety equipment for all types of racing. The makeover – valued at more than $1000 – featured Safety Solutions’ Dynamic Occupant System, including a Hybrid Pro Rage™ head restraint, seat belts, SFI certified roll-bar padding, arm restraints and a safety consultation with Safety Expert Trevor Ashline. The winner was chosen at random based on entry forms received during the event.
“I was so surprised; I never win anything,” Ruset commented. “It is refreshing to have a company like Safety Solutions taking the steps necessary to make racing safer for competitors. I so much appreciate the safety make-over and Safety Solutions’ commitment to sportsman racers. I truly feel more secure in the cockpit now.”
“Safety should come first in all types of racing,” comments Trevor Ashline, Safety Solutions’ president. “Safety Solutions believes safety begins at the onset of every racer’s career and is committed to keeping racing heroes – from the pros to our kids – safe.”
In addition to the Extreme Cockpit Makeover give-away, Safety Solutions sponsored a bar-b-que along with Quick Fuel Technologies, who sponsored the race weekend.
A first generation racer, Ruset has been racing since 1975 and competes in both NHRA and IHRA events. When not racing, he works as a service manager at a Buick/GMC dealership, and enjoys salt-water fishing and cooking.
Founded in 2001, Safety Solutions, Inc. is an industry leader in racing safety products – from head restraints to seat belts and driver nets.
