Kim’s suit hinges on Keigwin’s responsibility to warn him about the sandbags.
This brings up the riders’ meeting. In a text exchange with me just before I posted this story, Dziadzia confirmed something I’d previously been told off the record — that Kim didn’t arrive at the track until after the riders’ meeting on that morning.
If I was defending Keigwin’s, I’d put Kim on the stand and ask him, “Are you saying you should have been warned about the sandbags? You’ve been to a lot of track days; isn’t it true that the time to issue such warnings is at the riders’ meeting? If the sandbags had been mentioned in the riders’ meeting, would you have been there to hear it?” And, “Since the crash happened 10 laps into an afternoon session, didn’t you have ample opportunity to see the sandbags yourself?”

This is a blatant cash grab.
