A couple of weeks ago they interviewed graham light on nhra 2day asked him about the s.a.f.e.r wall barriers .........he said he didn't feel they were needed in drag racing , if i understood his interview,, i e-mailed n.h.r.a & suggested he explain that to some of the familes of the racers who lost their love ones this year........................could it have helped.????? ...............................a wall is a wall..............does nascar use different concrete than n.h.r.a..?..........when it could be a part failure that causes the accident or some meathead locking up the brakes....if the s.a.f.e.r wall could absorb the impact & save lives.....i think it could work in drag racing..........................thats my opinion.....& you know what they say about opinions...!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Top end braking has always been an issue.....when they check the master log time sheet, they can tell who lifted & dropped a couple of mph's or who locked up the brakes & scrubbed 15 mph off..........the time slips don't lie.........
