The motorsports racing industry was built on the foundation of people wanting to engage in competition, take risks, and enjoy the capabilities of their go-fast hobbies. Risk undoubtedly accompanies such dangerous activities. As a result, race participants sign a waiver, giving up their right to file claims against organizers of the racing event. Who then is liable for the failure of a component that is certified for racing and is responsible for an injury?
