We had a short dirt track near my house, one night late models were running and one driver lost control on turn 2 which has a dip which put him in a spin around turn 3, the left side of the car slammed into the guard rail as he hit the strait. His cage which he built himself snapped in the weld and drove it into his gut. At 32 with 3 kids and one on the way. The widow than sues on grounds that the dip caused the accident and the track knew of the potential of seriously injury Well the track was in it's first season and heavily mortgaged so they filed for bankruptcy and the track closed. All this even though the drivers signed a waiver of liability and track opened 1 pm for test and tune. They all knew of the dip in turn 2, and had raced on the same track for almost the whole season about 20 races but due to one person who on his own will decided to build his own cage, use it in a vehicle reaching speeds of 80mph. in a dangerous sport and the family sues the track.
