As for safety issues, the 3 items from that night long ago have all been corrected. As far as no catch fence in turns 1-2, as a driver myself, it's okay as long as the landing outside the facility is not dangerous. In this case, it would be a grassy tumble and the one lone obstruction is being taken care of. The grader was moved years ago.
The bottom line is that I will never put my drivers on a track that I would not race on myself. We have also already worked a deal with the Lawrenceburg Safety team to come in and work the event.
We look forward to seeing everyone at Whitewater and some BOSS representatives may be seen there on some random Friday nights to advertise for the show!!

Thanks for the reply Aaron. My only concern with the lack of a catch fence in 1 & 2 was that they were parking cars right by the wall when I was there. If a race car would have gone over the wall it would have landed on spectators vehicles.
I have already added that date to my racing calendar. I really enjoy watching the BOSS series run. Looking forward to more in the future. Keep up the good work.
