When that chute breaks away you just don't have a lot of slow down power anymore--gotta wonder if there isn't something could be done in the attachment method of them... an inertia system on the barrier would be great, think some of the old Air Force runways had them at one time?????

Anyway, it's a shame whenever somebody dies in a racing crash--but I guess danger and death has always and will always be part of the game. With all the new technology coming in to make the cars faster and faster it's going to cost track owner's a bunch to make the tracks safe enough to hold it the speed. Maybe till the track safety can get a chance to catch up it's time to limit all the 200+ mph cars to 1,000 ft. instead of 1,320??? Nothing I'm in favor of, but then something has to be done. Just too many drivers getting killed.
