Today I went to the Solo Tour event at Miller Park in Milwaukee to visit with a few friends. Decided to take my wife and daughter along at the last minute. (what were they thinking?)
Anyway, we arrive to find we have to fill out the silly Minor Waiver form at the gate. Typical union job, three guys standing around, only one working.....
My wife, an attourney, starts to fill out the form when she realizes that it has/is supposed to be Notarized!. Hmmmm she says and continues to fill out the form. Further on she realizes that if I had brought Emma without my wife we (in theory) could not enter the event since both parents (or gaurdians) are required to sign.
So, as far as I can tell, we signed our names to a perfectly useless and most likely illegal document. The man at the gate had no idea what he was doing, didn't check to make sure we filled it out correctly, didn't fill in the event location and date at the top of the page and most likely had about 30 seconds of training.
I have a really nice Minor Waiver Document that is not worth the paper it is printed on. There is no possible way this document protects SCCA in anyway, given the circumstances in which we filled it out.
If Club Racing/Regions has found a way around this stoopid form (for the most part) why hasn't the Solo gang?
For what it's worth we did have a nice visit with friends, which was the goal.
Rant over. Have a nice day!
