Most tracks have openings.

Lincolns is a non issue. Nor is Trailway. The front stretch ones at WG and Port are. And then, you didn't even circle the worst one in the country on the WG backstretch. So I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I disagree. If Macedo and Gladfelter tangled 30 feet further down the front stretch at lincoln, we’d very possibly be speaking the same way about his accident as he landed in the infield entrance.

Steve Owings hit the opening on the frontstretch at Lincoln. He was not injured seriously thank God. The opening at the 3rd turn has not been an issue because it is recessed from the racing groove.
Gladfelters crash was not much more than a rollover with very minimal damage.
All openings are dangerous, some much more than others.

This Tragedy should have never happened

Agree that the entrances and exits are a risk At a lot point f these tracks. Short of a complete reconfiguration of the tracks in question by a putting the haulers in the infield etc it’s tougH to completely fix. Water or sand barrels at the openings particularly openings at the end of a straight away should most definitely be considered. Places like turn 2 at Lincoln I don’t get super excited. a car isn’t likely to be carrying a lot of momentu there. Now the entrance to the pits at Susky and similar is an area of the track where the cars are carrying the most speed and obviously the place where a mechanical failure like a stuck throttle etc has the most potential to hurt you.

Y'all make decent points and I'm not trying to start a pissing match with cubic or anyone else. We all want the same thing ....and that's for drivers to stop dying. Its Never gonna completely stop, but we can help the cause by eliminating as many variables as possible. And openings in tracks being covered by a moving gate would be a start. For anybody that can't picture what I'm talking about, go look at Eldoras gate on the backstretch.
