Ummm...doesn't that wall *have* to be there? There is a public HIGHWAY beyond the end of the track...can't imagine anyone would wanna accept the possible liability of a car leaving E-town property and t-boning someone in traffic that just happens to be passing by? The racers sign a waiver, not the folks commuting on Pension Rd...

I know there has to be certain standards for safety, but anyone that's raced has accepted that liability/responsibility...if you don't feel safe, then don't leave the line, it's simple, and your personal call. Anyone who's done much drag racing has been to a track that feels a little shaky here or there...short shut down area, or shut down area rough & full of whoop-tee-do's, or track too rough, or too narrow, or whatever...if it doesn't feel Kosher, then push back in the trailer...simple!
