I think that Mr. Cross should've considered his profession before risking his hands in ANY race car at any time.
Sh!t happens out there, in the best of cars, to the best of drivers.
To sue Guldstrand and GM for what I'm assuming was Cross's own driving error on a notorious part of that track, is not the thing to do IMHO.
Disclaimer: I wasn't at Willow that day. I have never met Cross. I did know Guldstrand. He usually had several Camaros and Vettes in his Culver City race shop whenever I visited.
There could, of course, have been un-mentioned extenuating circumstances surrounding that particular Camaro race car. Therefore, my comments are merely my inflation-weakened $0.02 that I'm presenting simply as my own opinion.
Apologies for the brief thread-jacking. Now, back to the main topic...
