The waiver is legally over- broad [see, e.g., the =E2=80=9Cor otherwise lang=
uage=E2=80=9D] hoping a court will scale it back and apply it to the maximum=
extent the law permits. [see the last section]. It is a drafting trick. Wa=
ivers usually cannot a apply to reckless or intentional misconduct (and in s=
ome states cannot apply to =E2=80=9Cgross negligence=E2=80=9D). Moreover, t=
he waiver in section 1 gives an immediate defense to all defendants (=E2=80=9C=
releasees=E2=80=9D) on the basis that the signer =E2=80=9Cfe[lt] unsafe=E2=80=
=9D (whatever that means) at some time before any injury and still participa=
ted [or did not give notice]. This is a trial lawyer=E2=80=99s delight and, a=
t minimum, will cause defense counsel to delay settlement until the edge of t=
rial, running up litigation expenses, until every statement of the plaintiff=
pre-injury has been collected and parsed. If you sign this, do not talk to=
anybody (even in jest) about race or track conditions till your car is on t=
he trailer and off the premises. Other language gives a defense based on yo=
ur non-disclosure of any virus symptoms; if you cough or have nausea (probab=
ly nerves and a crummy hot dog) you had better tell race organizers and they=
will have no choice but to escort you out. =20
