There are probably more things you can't do, than things you can do, to make Sprint car or any open wheel racing safer, it's just the nature of the beast, it seems the trend has been to protect the spectator, and that's as it should be, but safer barriers will do little to help these cars, other than cut out most of the dirt tracks to race on, it is as it was in the old days, a very dangerous sport, it is not a "game", as the old saying goes, Bull riding, Mountain climbing, and Open Wheel racing are sports, everything else is a game, and protecting the paying customer comes with a high price tag, mostly to protect them from themselves, I think we've gone about as far as possible to protect the driver, and still call them open wheel race cars, and everyone that straps in, by now, should know what the outcome could be. As Tony would say, "not pretty", but it sure is fun! Bob
