"Necesisary"? you must mean necessary?
I can ask two things of you, sir.
first, Learn sarcasm. I am almost NEVER serious when I'm talking stupid ****.
Second, Learn to spell. Nothing is funnier than someone who cant spell trying to insult someone.

God forbid I have a lapse of taste in both sarcasm which was seemingly directed at my post and spelling after a 12 hr. work day and 3hrs worth of class. BTW, no insult was intended. Just seemed like a poor time for that sort of comment.
The next IE needs spell check.

Don't pull up to the starting line unless you are ready to lose everything up to and including your life... You may have recourse with the track if they did not properly tech a car and it caused an accident with negligence, but I doubt you could prove it... Stuff happens in racing...

Its amazing how people on the Internet always know more about someone else's job than they do. Next time your doctor tells you something, be sure to tell them that they are stoned if they believe that.
As in any sport, a participant agrees to the risks associated with participating within the rules. When someone fails to follow the rules either intentionally or negligently liability arises. Assumption of the risk is a defense that may not be available to some risks/situations and reckless conduct is not protected by this defense.
It is one thing to have something break or fail causing a true accident. It is quite another to have a person that feels that safety and other reasonable precautions do not apply to them resulting in an accident. These are the accidents caused by idiots who know their car is leaking fluid, using the wrong lug nuts, or possibly the use of tires inappropriate for the situation.
I don't care to delve further into specifics, examples, or reasoning. Take care and race safely.

Every track I've raced at I've had to sign a waiver freeing the track of any liability. I never really read it through it completely but I'm fairly sure there's something in there mentioning that I am the only person responsible for my property and I assume the risks. Although every track is different of course.
I get the point Tireburnin is making, but if you sign a waiver that says what I've mentioned above, you're SOL.
