Just got back to my aunt's in Bristol, CT... noticed Woodski's location. haha

Anyway, the back of the Pocono ticket reads...

"The holder of this ticket expressly assumes all risk incident to the event, whether occurring prior to, during, or subsequent to the actual conduct of the event, and agrees that all event participants, sanctioning bodies and all employees, agents, officers and directors of Pocono Raceway, its affiliates and subsidiaries are hereby released from any all claims arising from the event."

They pretty much covered all their legal bases with that one, I think.

When you see a storm coming, you shouldn't need to be told to take shelter, you are an adult, take responsibility for you own actions.

Why you guys think it's the tracks responsibility is beyond me, fuck me have you never heard of common sense?

Bristol sucks, I'm sorry lmao.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure the track PA should have announced the severe weather approaching, even with warnings and such in place before the storms arrived later. After that, you make the decision on what to do on your own. Its a rather unfortunate accident, and impossible to tell whether the people struck where doing the proper thing or not without knowing all the details.

Screw that, America sucks. Can't wait to get home.

*waits for the shitstorm...*

So has Bodine apologized for being a dickhead yet?

Everyone who is saying that they don't understand the liability, or that's it's fans common sense to take care of themselves, or the track is not to blame, etc. either hasn't been to the States, or does not understand how our asinine justice system works. This is the country where a woman sued McDonald's (and won) for their coffee being too hot. Do you really think someone won't sue Pocono over this?

Every ticket, at every track that I've ever been to, be it the big leagues to the bush leagues, says that the track and sactioning body are not responsible for injury, death, damage, martians, and/or anything else you can think. A good lawyer though can get around all that. Happends all the time.

I don't agree with it in the least, but you have to understand that this country can be and often is, fucking retarded when things like this happen. The general American slob is so sue happy it's shameful.

Well, the person who runs his Twitter account has, whoever that is...

Based on his actions on Sat Night, I have a hard time believing that it was Todd himself.

Didn't the families try suing over Michigan '98?

I was just thinking about that time at Indianapolis when Guerrero's front wing flew into the crowd and killed a man. His wife sued both drivers involved, their teams, mechanics, owners, etc and the track itself. Cannot remember the outcome.

Some teams of people even thought taking the awnings from food vendors, and carrying them around like umbrellas was a great idea.
