This Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release from Liability covers the entirety of my participation in this event, including travel to any locations away from the Win Derby at 10490 Gandy Blvd, St. Petersburg FL 33702 in order to participate in activities associated with this event.

6. Representatives - I enter into this agreement for myself, as well as for my heirs, assigns and legal representatives.
