2013 GRAND-AM Rulebook

Participant accident insurance coverage may be
declined by the insurance provider if an Official is
not notified and/or the Competitor is not evaluated
by the track medical staff. The Competitor is solely
responsible for all medical costs, including any
costs associated with off-site medical transportation,
for injuries not covered by the insurance
provider.
3.2.3 Assumption of Risk. Automobile racing is an
inherently dangerous sport and each Competitor
assumes that risk when participating in an Event.
The risk of serious injury or death cannot be eliminated
and is always present at a high level.
GRAND-AM cannot be and is not responsible for all
or even most aspects of the safety effort.
3.2.4 GRAND-AM Responsibility. Officials at an Event
will inform the Promoter of any inadequacies they
observe and consider in their best judgment to be
inconsistent with the interest of safety, including but
not limited to inadequacies in the racing facilities,
safety personnel, equipment and conditions of the
track. In addition, if an inadequacy is observed on a
Competitor’s Car, equipment, or conduct, Officials
may take whatever action is reasonable and appropriate
to correct such inadequacy, including but
not limited to, requesting physical examination(s)
and/or Driver ability tests. In any case, Competitor
is obligated to follow the Official’s directives.
GRAND-AM IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF ANY OFFICIAL AS IT
PERTAINS TO SAFETY.
3.2.5 Promoter Responsibility. The Promoter is directly
and finally responsible to ensure that the facility is
adequate and that adequate safety personnel and
equipment are provided for at each Event, both for
the purpose of preventing injury where reasonably
possible, responding to injury when it occurs; and
that the conditions at the facility are maintained in a
reasonable manner to reduce the risk of injury, all as
more fully set forth in the Sanction Agreement
applicable to the Event.
3.2.6 Member Responsibility. All Members are obligated
to inspect the racing facility, safety personnel
and equipment and conditions of the track on a
continuing basis before, during, and after the Event.
Members must promptly report to GRAND-AM and
