<<< This is exactly the kind of thing that gets missed at lots of tech
sessions!!
ons of cars in line non-qualified people that get
corralled/harangued into
oing tech that aren't trained properly etc. If this
plywood comment is true
he organizational body could potentially have some
liability, Waiver or not.
f they have safety rules that require "X" and don't
enforce it there are lots
nd lots of sue happy people out there just looking
for a payout.
Take your own position and make sure YOU are doing all you can
to make it safe
o meet the rules or even better safer than the rules require.

While I understand everything you've said and why you said
it, what about
some personal responsibility in the matter? Racers and their
support teams ought to
have their feet held to the fire first. They should be
ensuring that the
car they bring to an event to compete is safe in all
respects. The rules and
regulations are not secret. I think you owe that to
yourself, your fellow racers,
and the sanctioning body (in that order). Most
sanctioning bodies are paper thin
financially, and do the best they can to
staff events.
