SAFER at Talladega - Inside walls: NASCAR officials are to be at Talladega Superspeedway later this month to approve installation of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's impact-absorbing SAFER barrier on the track's inside retaining walls. The system could be in place for the Oct. 6 EA Sports 500 race. Most racing crashes involve the outside wall, but a barrier on the inside wall would help protect drivers from secondary impacts. NASCAR hasn't approved the system for Talladega's outside walls. Dean Sicking, SAFER's lead developer, is working to adapt the barrier, which was developed to fit Indianapolis Motor Speedway and introduced there in May, to high-banked tracks and short tracks with tight turns.(USA Today Print Edition)(8-16-2002)

Now all we need is them on the outside walls too. The sooner the better.
 
Sounds good Awesome.......I like NASCAR's go slow attitude. One track.......IMS.........doesn't make it conclusive that that is the best way to go. I say keep up the good work NASCAR.:)
