You are right having an opening like that at any speed is an unnecessary danger. This is where I'd like to see the drivers step up and take responsibility for their own safety at tracks that aren't up to par. We need to stand together and say, "No, we won't race there anymore until its fixed". First, they could approach the track and see what they might be planning, but if they don't intend to fix it then boycott, that's what its for. I think we owe that much to the racers needlessly lost and the families that remain. Its NOT too much to ask.
