All event participant drivers must be 21+. Any passengers under age 21 in a vehicle (a “Participant”) are the sole responsibility of the driver.
SMILES EVENTS, LLC and its members, employees, consultants, agents, staff, assigns, and attorneys accept no responsibility for and shall not be liable to any Participant for the consequences of a Participant’s actions or omissions in participating in the Rally, including but not limited to being cited, charged, prosecuted, or prohibited from participation arising from the improper conduct of a Participant at any location, stop, facility, establishment, public road, or any other place a Participant in present during the event.
