Description
[ 347 Pa. Super. Page 232] Jeffrey Valeo was the driver of a race car. His car was damaged and he was injured while racing at the Pocono International Raceway in a race conducted by Auto Sports Associates, Ltd. He commenced a civil action against the owner of the track and the sponsor of the race to recover damages, alleging negligent maintenance of the track. In an answer containing new matter, the defendants averred that Valeo had executed an exculpatory agreement in which he stated that he had inspected the racing area and had found it safe and reasonably suited for racing. The agreement provided further that Valeo releases, waives, discharges and covenants not to sue the defendants from all liability . . . for all loss or damage and any claim or demands therefore [sic] on account of injury to the person or property . . ., whether caused by the negligence of Releases or otherwise while the Undersigned is in or upon [the racing surface] and/or competing . . . observing, working or for any purpose participating in such event. Based on this release, the trial court granted summary judgment for the defendants. Valeo appealed. We affirm.
