If you are viewing this post, you are on IOW and thus your involvement with sprint cars is likely more than just casual. So you have seen countless sprint cars and midgets clear fences through the years. Guess what? Every track I go to I see people standing right up next to the fence in the pit area, I even do it myself. Why? Because I want the best view I can get. Most tracks have a sign, DONT NOT STAND HERE! Nobody listens... The thing that bugs me here is this guy Jonr suggesting that people in the pits are "So innocent and have had their rights stripped from them because they bought a pit pass". Of course I don't like that this happened, but you cant blame the track only, those people CHOSE to stand where they were standing, most likely knowing what is possible And they had the RIGHT to walk a few feet back and watch from there, but they didn't.
So tired of the "victim" mentality in our modern society. It's your life folks... LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF!!!!
Another question is, how high do they start building fences? the higher you go, the weaker the fence will be at the top which would probably involve a beefier foundation/lower portion of the fence. How many tracks can afford this and stay in business?
I hope everyone recovers from this and can move on happy and healthy....
