How horrible! Did the children have to see this????

I sure hope they didn't. In the articles I was able to find, I didn't see any mention of the family being at the Speedway that day, but I suspect his wife was there ...

My favorite team to win from the descriptions would be the Aiello's

Mine too! I also like the Paolas--I don't know how long they'll stay (mom doesn't look like she can run very fast), but they should provide some comic relief :)

HELP! We have been watching the race on channel 116 GAME(dish network) and I have just checked to make sure of the time......normally 9pm eastern and it is saying "dog eat dog" is on! Is it an error? Is it on a different channel? Can Anybody help? : )

Not meaning to sound insensitive but, this occurred during a race!

Well yes and no. Roy Weaver was a track crew supervisor and he was clearing debris from the track when he was struck. He was doing his job. Whether or not he was doing it at the appropriate time is the question. (Apparently the race officials didn't call a caution before he stepped on the track--or if they did then the drivers didn't get the message.)

Also, Linda Weaver is only suing for $75,000--a very conservative amount considering that Roy Weaver was the sole breadwinner for their family.

They maybe prempting tonights TAR on GSN so as not to compete with Season 8's premiere.

See if it is on at midnight EDT. That's when GSN usually runs TAR again.

You want to explain this? Just what exactly was the driver supposed to do? Slow down to a crawl and let all the other drivers pass him

If there was debris on the track then the drivers should've been told to slow down. There was obviously a lack of communication somewhere that day.

That maybe just for medical expenses. The lawyer is going to make sure to ask for an astronomical amount in pain and suffering, so he/she can skim off the 40% contingency fee.

I bet the Branson family is gonna be a pain. Four under-thrity girls and their old dad.

I think the Bransens will be the first family to be eliminated. (They've been nearly invisible in the TAR promos--the Rogers family too.)

Season 6 has to be the worst, they had the rudest, whiniest, most unlikable people as contestants, all the good teams got eliminated early.

That's the "Jonathan & VictoriAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" season right? :) Yeah, I agree. And there were too many "models" in that crop as well.

Read the bio on the Weaver family. The mom is widowed, her husband was killed in a horrible accident. Terrible as it was, I don't believe there should be a lawsuit. It would have been impossible for them to stop the race. Once those cars reach those speeds putting the breaks on quickly would only cause accidents and more injuries.

Great kick-off to the TAR8 thread...

From a fellow TAR host I take that as a high compliment--thank you :)

Oh, I didn't hear the amount. Yes that is a very low sum per the usual suit. Of course the jury can decide to award more depending on the facts of the case.

I didn't even watch that season. Watched the first show and found something else. That group was the most self-centered bunch I had ever seen. Blah.

Thanks! I 'phoned a friend' LOL and she said that it was on channel 13 tonight, and that the last day of the race we have been watching, is on at the normal time tomorrow. : )
Myself and my daughter (age 11, grade 8), have been spending some quality time together each evening watching the reruns (first time for us). It's been a great time so far, and we have chatted about the "disgusting rude' behaviour of some of the contestants. 'Jonathon' in particular and when he got eliminated we had a party! : )

I don't know about the Linz family--they've been invisible in the ads, compared to the Aiellos and the Godlewskis.

Okay...just to be clear to you guys..it says the following:

"unspecified amount of damages in excess of $75,000.”

It doesn't say $75,000. She could very well be really going for 1/2 million or more. She probably has a lawyer working on contigency. $75 grand wouldn't net her much for the loss of life.
