I am amazed that you dont read about this happening every week at some track across the country. Safety is a total joke at most of these dirt tracks.

4m post of the year! Amen!

I wonder how some of these insurance companies sign off on some of these 'catch fences'

I will provide an example. Track not too far from me has a wall with a chain link fence on top. Seen many times people standing right at the fence even holding onto it at times. Do they think this fence will stop a 2300 lb race car from not moving that fence even a foot? Best hope is the fence gives but stop the car at that point.

Link I provided shows a group standing at the fence at the .18 mark. Imagine two late models coming off the turn and getting together getting up into that fence where that group is standing.

Without details, there is nothing to discuss.
