Talking about the safety of walls? Dirt tracks with no walls are much safer (as long as the spectator seating is placed appropriately). I don't care what anyone says. Walls stop kinetic energy...quickly. A lack of a wall allows the cars stopping and rolling time. Tears up a lot less equipment too.

What a load of crap in this article. They have no clue about sprint car racing. They sound just like the anti-gun people.

I don't follow any other sports. But when I see "the media" reporting on racing, I realize they are probably just as clueless and incorrect about everything else they talk about.

ESPN ran an AP article that had the same type of crap in it. I was so mad I created a profile so I could comment & steer people right. In vain most likely but hey, I was mad.
 What scares me about the PC police is I just saw a headline where a school teacher was let go because she had an abusive ex boyfriend. Apparently he's been deemed a threat to the student body. But then again, that was a press headline so who knows how true... Posted via Mobile Device |
