many tracks could sure use some improvement when it comes to safety, but lets face it, most of those track owners don't have the $$$ to do it; but maybe they could do a little bit year by year? knock on wood, I think that Lawrenceburg is an excellent example of a safe sprint car track (spacious high banked turns, good catch fences and plenty of room to race) I also feel that 3/8ths are the safest sprint car track in general, because of the room to race issue, what with the speeds they produce and the quickness of the cars. the 1/4 miles are entertaining alright, but the tightness creates more contacts and bumping and banging. kokomo is a good example of a safer 1/4 mile with the wide spacious turns. I've seen cars go right through so called catch fences at some local tracks, and that is unacceptably dangerous; good catch fences with proper height and heavy cable backup support is a must, in protecting both the drivers, pit personal and spectators, and should be the # 1 priority when improving a track imo!.
