I can only suspect the motivation for suing, but there is a legal perspective for for who got sued:

The bike club: among other things, apparently neglected to put emergency services on notice (including the police) so that they could be adequately staffed for contingencies. I assure you that the police were quite visible today

The employer: Family owned business, son was driving a car owned by the business.

Personally, after seeing the site today, I DON'T believe it was an accident. To me, the track was clear...this kid was negligent and careless.
