Perfectly explained. When your attorneys are going to walk the case is a dog and has no merits. Delt with attorneys involving accident claims for 28 yrs. Never once had one tell his client they were walking. And we defended against some real frivolous cases. This one had to be a sinking ship.
Were they getting paid for their time or working for a percentage? I know you probably don't know, but that matters.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Those cars are set up with a huge amount of stagger. They are steered with the throttle more than with the wheel. Agreed, I don't have any seat time with one of those but I am sure any seasoned driver would do the same thing, turn left and smash the gas. Those little front tires aren't going to influence that thing much otherwise.

Tragedy for sure. But at the moment you get out of a car on a race track with cars active on the track and run towards moving cars...... YOU and YOU alone are responsible for whatever ensues. I understand the the parents are heartbroken, but to blame anyone in that situation other than the guy that got out of his car and rushed into traffic is just plain ridiculous. Really ? Even when the other drivers had no problem getting past him, then tony intentionally aimed the car at him and sped up. He went after him to hurt or at least scare him, I’m sure not to kill him, but he did, it’s called vehicular manslaughter. Just like if slam your brakes on to scare the guy tailgating you, and he crashes and dies, maybe never touching your car, you get caught and you go to jail. Unless your a celebrity maybe At least one other driver had a problem getting past him. Chuck Hebing, who was driving in front of Stewart under caution, said in a deposition he needed to react quickly to avoid Ward. "I jerked the car to the left and stepped on the gas to turn the car quicker to get away from him, and then I said to myself that the next guy is not going to have time to get around him and is going to hit him, and that is what happened".
