Safety, this is a very tuff issue, because it is not a CHEAP issue. If new seat belts were $100 or a new fire suit was $100 they would be changed out all the time. These items are not cheap. Large teams change there belts ou then sell them to smaller teams. Or look at the fire suits drivers wear. How many of them are wearing IRL related pit crew suits? Several. We need to sind cheaper ways for driver to be safe. Step 2 track safty. I knew the anderson speedway barels would be brought up. Open wheel guys can not stand the fact that when a car goes full throtel into them that it springs back onto the track. Yes this is bad, but the drivers WALK AWAY. I seen way to many stock car drivers severly injured when those barrels were not there. So take the good with the bad. Lets take a look at the burg. Millions of dollars spent redoing the place. How much was put in saftey. Concrete wall all the way around the out side, awsome catch fence mounted correctly, but no safer wall or anything like that to take the blow. No other track in indiana is going to be able to put that kind of money into there facilities. Why do we think things are going to change in the future?
