PCA Rules for Minor Participants as Drivers, Passengers, Course Workers, Etc.

The PCA has very specific requirements for minor participants at PCA moving car events.  It is an express condition of PCA’s insurance coverage that minor participants must be covered by a Minor Release and Waiver Form.  This minor waiver form must be printed out IN COLOR and signed by both living parents/legal guardians.  This is the case whether the parents are divorced or not.  The form may not be signed by friends or other relatives.  If one parent is deceased, the living parent may sign alone (with a witness signature), but he or she must also represent that the other parent is deceased. 

            Here is the good news.  The PCA allows parents to make this an “Annual Waiver”, so that you don’t need to complete one of these for each event.  To convert the event waiver to and annual waiver simply write “ALL PCA EVENTS” on the line for “EVENT NAME / LOCATION” and write “ALL DATES” on the line for “EVENT DATE(S)”.  The original completed waiver should be returned to me, Michael Rosen, 731 Wayfield Drive, Olivette, MO  63132.  Copies should be retained and presented at each event the minor attends.

The form can be downloaded from the club’s website here:
