There is definitely no way in hell that this is a legal, sanctioned, or insured event.

02subiedoo, nothing against you personally but I would never participate in an event like this with my own car. If you screw it up, you're insurance won't cover it, you're competitors wont cover it, and the race organizers will definitely not pay for it.

Fortunately, chances are you will get screwed by the police before you ever get a chance to total your car.

What is thats supposed to mean?

And ofcourse you're going to have to take the necessary measures to ensure you're personal safety plus dude if you wreck you're car you better have some extra cash to pay for the damage. Also why is everyone jumping to conclusions when they don't even know the full story??? That just goes to show who were dealing with on here. Whatever happened to people trusting one another?? Giving the benefit of the doubt?? I mean cmon now throw me a bone here. If you own you're vehicle no matter what you do you must always be prepared wherever you go whatever you do. That you're responsibility as a vehicle owner.

Typically, a waiver needs to be signed. You even need a suit, a helmet and a neck brace for gokarts. I mean it just seems like there is a lack of organization and precautions. Not to rag on you because you are a messenger, but to who ever is setting this up it is their *** on the line when I read in the paper about someone getting hurt because of a lack of safety precautions.

It means that your name carries no reputation, so you walking the track means nothing. If kspek walked the track and said it was ok, we'd know it was safe. If Krinkov said it was ok we'd know it was full of drunk SF hipster chicks.

Well, and the occasional course worker. It happened this year at a Norcal UFO event. The worker was a little on the heavy side and didn't move fast enough (from what I was told).

I think quite a few people here have done some sort of motorsport event. The fact that helmets are not required seems a little sketchy to most. This event might be legitimate, but what you posted so far seems off.

The benefit of the doubt is irrelevant when it comes to safety. I would never be in an event where ANYONE felt it was safe to throw around 2000+ lb objects around a course at a fast rate, around people, and without safety equipment. It is unsafe, irresponsible and immature.

If this is sanctioned or insured in anyway, either someones lying about it, or someone lied to an insurance company.

It makes me wonder who's doing it and if they understand the liability involved without requiring safety standards.

You said that the people should have some extra cash to pay for any damage? How old are you? Do you really think any punk kid who would participate in something like this who doesn't even have the cash for basic stuff like a helmet will be able to pay for my 20,000 dollar car and my medical bills that can easily exceede 100,000 dollars?

I think you guys are throwing this way out of proportion. I could take my own vehicle in a parking lot any given day it's feasible and drift my own vehicle. So that would be considered irresponsible??? Possibly.. But I would tell you that if anyone person that tried to drift there own vehicle and not be ableto pay for there screw ups is irresponsible plus anyone person who thinks/expects someone else to pay for there mistake is most definately irresponsible and most definately immature. I myself will take the risk and go and whoever wants to go out and ENJOY themself and have a good time with his/her own vehicle AND WHO IS ALSO RESPONSABLE TO PAY FOR THERE SCREW UPS.

02SUBIEDOO

So you guys havefun dissecting peoples offers to have fun and I'm actually going to do it.
