They had an interview today with Jim Head, thought he offered up a reasonable solution.... If tracks like Englishtown, built when fuelers were still at or below 200MPH don't have an long enough shut down area, then shorten the race to 1,000 ft or even to an eighth mile....

I'm with Mike on the catch fence idea, too. Back in my Air Force days I watched an F-4 land hot and go into the barrier, it worked great... A bit late for Scott, but if improved safety can somehow be a result of his death.....
