Barbara Nesbitt Plaintiff-Appellant, National Muscle Car Association

¶ 1 Held: The circuit court did not err by dismissing plaintiff's claims against the NMCA, Promedia, the NHRA, and Ted Peters on the basis of a release and waiver of liability signed by plaintiff because: 1) those defendants fell within the definition of "releasees" set forth in the agreement; 2) the language of the release was sufficiently clear to define the "event" as the drag racing event during which plaintiff was injured; 3) the danger that caused plaintiff's injury was within the range of dangers of which plaintiff assumed the risk when she signed the release; and 4) plaintiff forfeited her claim that the NHRA and Peters did not provide consideration in exchange for her promise to release them from liability because she did not raise that claim before the circuit court.
