And this is where IHRA plans on holding a national event in 2009? Somebody needs to have their head examined. I thought the "new" walls were supposed to be pinned to the concrete. Disaster waiting to happen there.

it appears that the walls werent pinned together at that point. If you pin all the sections together they dont do that, they slide back aways and absord some of the impact, but dont fall over.
