Periodic Maintenance Schedule
This schedule is meant to be a guide, and is not meant to replace regular inspection. All components should be
inspected before and after EVERY race for signs of wear, fatigue or damage. We suggest you make copies of the
torque checklist included in this book to help you establish a pre race checklist. A space will be be provided
throughout the maintenance schedule for you to list the type of service part or brand and weight of fluid to be
used. There will also be a space for you to list an alternate schedule time if you find that this guide does not meet
or exceeds the needs of your car and driving style.
