I UNDERSTAND THAT BEFORE OR AFTER ANY SPECIFIC VOLUNTEER SHIFT, OR ADDITIONAL EVENT(S) DAYS, I MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REMAIN AT THE LSRA AND RACETRACK AS A SPECTATOR FOR THE APPLICABLE EVENT. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT IF I REMAIN AS A SPECTATOR AT AN EVENT, I WILL NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED A VOLUNTEER AND ALL OF THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE GENERAL SPECTATOR AND/OR PUBLIC SHALL APPLY TO ME WHILE I AM A SPECTATOR.
Exclusive Agreement. This is the final, complete, and exclusive agreement between Manager, as agent for Friends of Laguna Seca, and me, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications or understandings, either oral or written.
