I'm not gonna automatically yell, "Slow those cars down" that's a bit knee jerk. But we do need to look at track layouts/configs. In most cases little things could've made the difference between death/injury and walking away. Why not do what we can to make sure more of us can race another day?
Yup that is BAPS. Problem with moving entrances is the shear cost of moving walls. I agree where they are at BAPS was just a recipe for disaster. Also I've seen so many people say they need to slow the cars down. At 90mph or 130+mph hitting an opening at that speed and almost stopping, chances of survival is slim in sprint car IMHO.
