Safer Barrier at N.H.M.S.

SAFER at NHIS: When cars careen into the corners at the New Hampshire International Speedway next month they'll be met by safer walls, thanks to the completed installation and inspection of Steel and Foam Energy Reduction [SAFER] barriers in each of the Loudon track's four turns. The soft-wall technology comes to New Hampshire on the recommendation of the NASCAR-sponsored Midwest Roadside Safety Facility, which looked at the layout of the track and considered the danger of the corners based on speed information. The facility also studied similar figures from every other track remaining on the Winston Cup's 2003 slate, and earlier this summer suggested NHIS and Virginia's Richmond International Speedway install the SAFER barriers. Both tracks heeded the recommendation.

It's about Farging time!

With all the money this game is attracting, it's a wonder they don't do that to most of the tracks.

Hey Silver, no need for the intended language, we could do without that.

As for the barriers, it is nice to see nascar making all of these changes to the tracks instead of putting more restrictions on the cars. For years NASCAR thought, hey if we slow em down, no one will die. Well finally they figured out that the thing killing the drivers isnt the car, but the walls.
