I agree 100% with Tony I have been racing at Raceway park since 1977 and have been going there longer than that and they are and have always been nothing but "TOP Notch" The Napp Family has always looked out for us racer's and I would bet the that insurance carrier told them this is what you have to do and this has to be signed by the racer's. I also have a story, my son who was 5 @ the time jumped out of a moving golf cart in the pits and landed face first on the asphalt -he was a mess and so was I ! I was driving when he jumped out. I had more EMTs and people helping. They truely took care of him and me.

Although I don`t race there every week, I do race there several times a year and raced their Friday Night " Mean Street" series for a couple of years and I agree the place has always been top notch. Years ago I was on my way to ETown when my truck started to miss, so I pulled into the K Mart Plaza on 18 and changed the under the p/u body gas filter and in the process got a nasty burn along with a little gas in it. When I got to the track my wife insisted I go see the track EMTs to have it looked at, they did, they cleaned the burn and properly applied burn cream and a bandage. They didn`t have to, the injury didn`t even happen at the track but they were nice enough to properly treat the injury and I am/was thankful for that.

Insurance Co,s make huge amounts of profit

Some decades ago, the NJ car insurance companies asked the State legislature for a rate increase.
"Here's our numbers, we're not making enough money".
"Didn't you forget to include the money you made by investing the payments - a few hundred million?"
"That's none of your business".

They didn't get it - that time.

1. You can't race unless you sign it, so it's not a choice
2. Without going into complex language, it doesn't protect them as well as it says.
3. there is no such thing as waiving your right to sue - even if it says so. Yes, contracts say so all the time - and that's why it's there, they hope you believe it. Major prison sentence deals are done every day with the convict waiving his right to appeal as part of the bargain - and they do it anyway (complicated, details on request).
A waiver is just another layer of paper your attorney cuts through to sue them - under certain conditions.
4. "Negligence" means different things to different people at different times.
Failure to warn you of something you should know anyway (the track is wet) isn't their fault.
Forgetting to tell you they parked a Cat D7 in the shut-down area is a tort recovery action regardless of whatever you signed.




I guess in the "legal eagle" society we live in today, you'll have to get the right guy to defend you when the time comes- and hope and pray it never does.

I have been around that track a bit myself. my first run happened when the present tower was just a skeleton... I have been on the side for a while waiting for the chance to jump back in. I know Etown is known as a state of the art facility. I have never needed their medical services in my 500 or so passes I have logged there. I DO get concerned about the future though. Will you know about a change in their policy when or if it happens?
After all it is primarily a business to them. It's a hobby or love to us.

DEFINETLY not changing the subject! This is what I worry about. I have a house and extended family living in it. Nowadays I have to weigh my risks. I never knew of such a thing.

Back to the legal thought, I know bikers have lawyers specializing in their corner, maybe Drag Racers should have it too. I think I saw some legal representation in National Dragster, but local would be better.

I paid about 3 bucks a month extra for a rider that covered me while racing. After I got too busy to race, my agent suggested that enough time had passed (3 years) that we submit a form and drop it. Underwriters agreed but I have been asked when applying for more coverage specifically about the matter.

these are just standard waiver forms
nothin to get excited about
you know when you race it on you
the reason they do this try to keep the liabilty
down somewhat.
if wasnt for stupid people sueing over to hot of coffie
or hey i was driving down this 2 lane rd and there was another
car beside me and he hit me , ooo by the way it was at a racetrack
woooo we didnt know that
its a risk we all accept when we go,
so just sign the d..... thing go racin if not
dont race
if you keep this up you wont have any track to run at
because ins would be to high and they would have to close
so come on get over allready

This one's a real deal gang. My wife worked in the insurance business and showed me buried way down the bottom are things called "high risk hobbies" that can give the insurance companies an out from having to pay on life insurance policies. Auto racing is one of them.....so is skydiving, bull riding, stunt flying, wreck diving, rodeo clown, bungey jumping et al. There's about forty of them.

Being a dumb redneck isn't on there.....yet.
