Default Re: Scott Kalitta bad accident

The sad part is Englishtown has a decent shutdown area at the end with space. As far as the sand trap area that can use some work. I mean it looks like it's a very rough and short sand trap, when I watched Doug Foley go into the sand friday night I was like wow that looks rough and short. Maybe they should look into shorting the shutdown area and move the sand trap up. There is not much more they can do cause after that fence at E-Town is Union Road that leads you into the track and as much crap as they already get from the surronding city's I can't see them getting approval to expand. I think it's the part in mind that "it will never happen at my track" I mean you look at one of my favorite tracks on the east coast and Atco Raceway. If you have ever been there the shutdown area is almost as long as the 1/4 mile but for the longest time the shutdown area was a couple of tires, a old guardrail and trees. It took John Lupo losing his life at the track a couple of years ago after he went off the end to have them put in a sand trap. All I know is when there is a death a positive always come sout of it. When Darrell Russell died, they put the side protectors on the dragsters, after Eric Died they did the same thing. Maybe now with Scott K. being killed it's time to look away from the cars themselves and look at the tracks they race on.
