This safety topic can be a touchy one,....I mean if we want to make the sprint cars and midgets safer, shouldn't we put wings on them? Ahhhh! And the "Safety walls" at every track? Require Halon systems? Make them wider, or better yet, if safety of our drivers is the ultimate goal, shouldn't we put fenders on them? Who should decide what is the acceptable level of safety? You? Me? The driver? The sanctioning body? The fans? Beats me! But, a bunch of guys packed in styrofoam lined cars bouncing off syrofoam walls just doesn't sound like something I want to watch or participate in. There is a certain level of danger to this sport that makes it so appealing, and if we made the cars all "super-safe", would anyone want to watch? :sleep:
