This was a super sad tragedy that occured. None the less, I guess the driver of the car was only doing what he thought he had to do by filing bankruptcy. If he couldn't have dished out the million of dollars that he would have been sued for, what difference does it really make?! Yeah, the people who lost loved ones that day, which may they R.I.P., can sue the driver, but they will sue for much more than what Mr. Driver has to offer. If they really want to look into it, which the lawyers probably are going to do, there has to be contracts somewhere. Many people do not get a sponsership, or car show deal, with a hand shake this day and age. Now, if they really want the money that they are going to go for, they need to find these contracts, and get more people involved.
Now, do I think sueing is the right thing to do?! Not at all. We all know there is a risk in everything we do. One can get hit by a car when walking down the street. And, of course, someone ((the driver's)) life is now in a downward spiral from the possible law suits that can occur. Yeah, I may be young. But I have seen many, many racers test their car on the street. Even at a race one may attend and watch, there is the possiblity and when a car is being warmed up, it may hop off the jacks. Very rare, but still possible. Don't get me wrong, this was a very sad event that happened. But this day... Everyone is so "sue" happy. And, as often as many try, sueing another for a sum in the millions of dollars mark, will not bring anyone back. It will help out with the bills one may have occured and loss of wages. But living largly off of someone's loss of life, I think, is not the right way to go.
I hope the promotor of this event, or who allowed the said burn out, at least covered the medical expenses of others and the expenses of those who have passed on from this event.
Again, this is just my opinion. Disregard it, if you may. Maybe I have a different view right now on law suits as I just got out of a B.S. one. Although, I do think the right people who were involved in this event, should step up, whether being sued or not. Being a coward is not a good way out.
