Safety at racetracks

[FenderBumper]

It seems that everybody has forgotten Jeff Gordon hitting an opening in the inside wall at Las Vegas in 2008 and knocking his radiator out and some people thought he had to be dead. There are a lot of examples, too many to name. That crash at Las Vegas was the first like it at that track.

Thank god that wall wasn't like the knife edge Mark hit, or he may not have survived.

That's all I can take from this video of Jeff hitting a flat wall.

Jeff Fuller's crash at Kentucky (I beleive) comes to mind also.

Whatever can be done to improve the safety of drivers, crew members, track personnel & fans should be done.

Look at it again later in the video FB, he hit about 15 or 20' before the end of the turnout which means instead of a glancing blow he hit straight on because the opening was there. At the time there was a bigger dustup about that opening than there is about the recent one but they did have room to work on it and fix the problem though the odds are no one will ever hit it again.

Its close, dying very slowly.

Horses don't die, they're moved to the podium where they get beaten to a pulp multiple times over for an infinity.

This "beating a dead horse" crap is getting pretty damn old, too.

Beating a dead horse about beating a dead horse. Kinda catchy.

You guys should be reported to the SPCA for beating that poor horse
