Im not a expert but I observe things. Here is something that became obvious to me and anyone with large gates in their catch fence might think about replacing it.
This is a little big clearer now. There was a crossover gate at that location used in Supercross and at other times. When the car hit the fence it blew out the gate and the car sheared off on the fence post If it had been continuous chain link fencing this most likely wouldn't have happened and the entire car save bits and pieces most likely would remain within track boundary. This is only my view and not based on 100 percent of the facts.

Who ever would have thought that a low crowd turn out would be a good thing. Pray to God something like that does not happen today.
The Powers that be are just looking at stuff like this, so they can make more law's to protect us from ourselves. Honest Dad himself |

I wouldn't say low turnout, Id say a lot left to beat the crowd as you see at about ever ballpark and race for whatever reason.
I see it as a overlooked safety mistake in a sport that where anything that can happen, usually does and just when you think you've seen it all, YOU HAVEN'T! Sure the ones injured have a case, Its not going to bankrupt the France Family, Hell they are tax payer subsidized. A smaller track it would ruin.

That crash was a bit similar to that of Don McTavish is 1969, except he hit the gate in turn four, severing the car, and killing Don. The half of the car containing Don was struck by Sam Sommers after it wound up in front of the grandstand. One of the most grizzly scenes imaginable.
