The racer shall not engage in any activity or act which, in the reasonable judgment of American Honda, may in any way injure or adversely reflect on the name, marks or goodwill of American Honda. ”This agreement may be terminated by American Honda prior to the expiration date upon five days notice for the following reasons: Racer being convicted of involvement in any felony level crime or similar violation of the any law, ordinance or regulation of the United States, its possession territories or any state, as well as those of any foreign country, involving an act or moral turpitude or similar types of activity, which in American Honda’s opinion could reasonably be expected to reflect adversely on the reputation of American Honda, the Honda trademark or the racer.” We'll see what happens.....</p></blockquote><p></p>
