Event Safety Suggestions

[Doppelgänger]

the only thing i see with the concrete barriers is they do move. IE NOPI 2004 when a 240 smacked one at about 4-50mph and it knocked it quite a few feet. It was a "smaller" berrier, nothing like a divider wall... but appearantly they thought it was safe enough. Yeah, getting a "bigger" barrier would be correct, but then theres the cost of renting them, moving them, renting equipment to move them, renting the lot for an extra day to come up with a course and place barriers (dont think theres enough time to do it in the morning of the event). It would be easier to regulate photographer areas in the end...

Plus the safety issue of a driver hitting a wall. That's why it's done in a open lot...this isn't a professional series: some pro's, near pro's, novices, amateurs, etc...either way people do go off the track, and like you said temporary barriers do move, so i think at this level more injury would be caused from having the barriers in place.
