I'm not an engineer but as an explaination of my reasoning,the cables diameter would be way smaller than the carrier cable and I think would be in a groove on the racing shutdown surface.I mentioned someone being at the top end area that could operate
some sort of devise to elevate it up to the paved height when needed.Of course every
fast car,TAD/TAFC/TFD/AAFC would need a remote activated tail hook.Sounds a bit far fetched but I wish they would come up with something.
I personally think they'll take the easy way out and just mandate a slowing down of the cars.
