Special Event Waiver

Jan 11, 2006 3 Replies

I just got and read the waiver for the "Indy" car racing event and found it to be pretty interesting. If I want to go racing, I can't have had any alcohol within the previous 72 hours. (I believe that commercial pilots are supposed to refrain from drinking for only 24 hours before a flight.) Even worse for many of us, we can't be "taking or under the influence of any prescription or nonprescription medication of any kind". Those two restrictions have got to radically cut down the number of people who can participate, at least without being dishonest. Of course, we also have to assume full responsibility for any risks, whether caused by the negligence of Mario Andretti Racing or SolidWorks Corporation or not.

You forgot the mind altering drugs.

This would be a big change from last time when some folks had shots stacked 3 ft high.

When I first read about this event, I thought it had to be some sort of virtual reality thing. Now with this waiver, it seems to be the real deal. How are they going to have enough time for everyone to participate. The last SW World I went to had a couple of hundred people attending the event. Granted, not everyone will participate (especially the alcoholics) but it still doesnt seem like enough time.
