I'm so pissed off right now I'm beyond words, and as a moderator I should set example and better keep what I think about this to myself because its not pretty.

Carlos, don't be mad. It was all covered by the automobile insurance policy. Ben's wife and estate did not have to pay one nickel. I made sure of that.

Which in turn ends up increasing the premiums that Ben's family will have to pay for their car insurance. I just think that it's sick that Tracy Rudi even thought of a suing everyone. Couldn't she have very well just left things be in peace instead?

Andrej,
I agree with you.
BUT, did you heard about recent death of Macedonian Pop star Tose Proeski here in Craotia? His driver hit the truck at autobahn at high speed and Tose died while driver survived but, with serious injuries. Tose's family was thinking about suing VW(it was latest version of Touareg) but, after Croatian Police investigation it become clear that:
-Tose's driver was driving over 190km/h
-none of the people in the car wear seatbelts(!!!)
-driver apparently felt asleap and hit the truck from behinde unable to avoid it in the last moment
-driver did not brake(!)
Case closed...

Nick, thanks for the update and hats off to you for standing with the Keatons during these ruff times. I have a question though. Had this unfortunate accident occurred on a public road do you think the court would still find Porsche negligent in making "an unsafe car" for the road? If so, wouldn't that open up the gates to a flood of lawsuits of past and maybe future CGT accidents in the states?
Also, didn't the Keatons sue the speedway, Ferrari club or Porsche as well?

In my opinion, 90% of the blame falls with the track for placing that ridiculous concrete barrier perpendicular to the track. All the other causes are unfortunate, but the barrier seems most severe and obvious...

Being called "an internet marketing guru", I am sure that Cory Rudl left quite a bit of money for his dear, loving wife - in which case her lawsuit is the more pathetic and sickening.
But this is not about her making sure that others will be safe in the same circumstances in the future.
This is about her making a ton of money. Pure and simple.
