Default Re: Alcohol dragster?

Another fatality today sadly proving that accidents involving non-deploying chutes--- or chutes detaching from car upon deployment needs IMMEDIATE attention. Cars hitting the sand traps at high speed appear to be skimming over top of the sand and slamming into these un-safe nets resulting in un-survivable impacts.... How many lives have to be lost before changes are made to both improving racecar chute systems and emergency slowing (traps)and containment(net) systems? Maybe non-flammable large containments of small foam cubes or blocks would work better than these deadly net systems....just my thoughts on another sad raceday. WJ
