<VV> Waivers and more

[aeroned at aol.com]

James,
 
The SCCA requires that EVERYONE on site must sign a waiver and there extra  
hoops to jump through if you want your minor child to watch. At least 
that's the  way it is supposed to be today.
 
BTW the SCCA requires that all members join the national organization. A  
couple years ago they started a "weekend member" program so that everyone  
participating in an event was a member, even if it was just for that event. It 
 didn't take a genius to figure out that the annual membership fee was 
equal to  two weekend events.

Don't remember ever signing a waiver.  Actually, same  is true for local 
SCCA
events when they had them, which has been almost 10  yrs ago.  Since no one
pays to spectate at any autocross I've been to,  I certainly do not know 
what
the applicable rules are.  Kinda like  attending a fireworks display.  If
something bad happens, everybody  "lawyers up", and they have at it.  No
event insurance, everybody  involved with the event is named in the law 
suit.

But we all know  anybody can sue anybody else for anything at anytime.
Having insurance for  a formally organized event is a  no-brainer.
