I feel sorry for the womans family. I don't think it's unreasonable for catch fences to be installed at these tracks. Nascar,IRL,hockey have all adapted to these and it helps the fans a great deal. You can't plan for every accident that could happen but this would be a start. When Kalitta was killed last year the NHRA acted almost immediately to go from 1/4 mile to 1/8. If they were that quick to protect the " show " let's see how quick they are to save the fans.
