people like you are the reason this country has such a ****ed up legal system.....SUE a manufacturer because some kid was an idiot and was doing WAY past what the safety rating in his car was? i'm sorry to be blunt but you're a ****ing moron.
first off, airbags only deploy when they sense a specific impact, if he rolled it then sides would go off but no front unless the car hit something in the front....tha'ts how almost all cars are designed. Even if you have a front collision at a low speed they might not go off due to the conditions.
it was obviously the guys fault, get off the car manufacturers ***** about not being able to protect a person who was probably well over the triple digits....even people on tracks have to wear helmets. those airbags wouldn't have done ****.
sorry for the loss of your friend. it's unfortunate to lose someone in an accident like that at such a young age.

We all tend to push are cars but reality is we can be seconds way from death at anytime. So the next best thing we can do is learn from your friend. Thats the only thing left to do.

I am sorry for your loss, sucks man I had some friends and fam go that way 
(as to the suing posts up top)
Sue if your obeying the law crash and they (airbags) dont deploy, but if your going 130 mph and you roll and they dont go off well at 130 i would be suprised if anything electical works after the first hit, as sad as it is it wasnt the company's fault.
