And the point of my post was to point out that you can’t expect the safety level of a temp street course to be anywhere close to a permanent facility. I could understand your complaint if we were talking about a guard rail or telephone pole at a permanent course. Hay bales are about as good as you are gonna get at a temp course. I doubt Rock Island does it any differently.
Let’s put this another way. If YOU were in charge of course layout and safety, what would you have done differently?
As a driver, I realized that I could not wreck in a couple corners or the penalty would have been very high, the tree at the exit of one corner and the concrete curb at the chicane scared the crap out of me…therefore I only drove at about 95% through those two corners.
I am defending the safety preparations, I feel they were appropriate.
