prodrift barriers

[jeff nelson sileighty]

ive been thinking dat prodrift should be using sumting alot softer around the edges of the tracks like in mondello where they use foam bales because alot of us ar taking very expensive smacks off those metal barriers dat theyve been using! is there a reason why they arent using anything softer????

[ciaran r]

id say its for insurance reasons,and to keep the crowd safe,wouldn`t thrust a foam bale to protect me from a car slidding towards me,and another guess would be due to the size of the foam bales in mondello it would kill the show as people wouldn`t be able to see much,now im only guessin i could be wrong,but id say its definitly crowd saftey

ya bu they could hav dem only a certain height so d crowd cud still c and put d metal barriers behind d bales

Safety primarily. Cars are going very fast and would easily move a bale, so unless they pushed the crowd line back miiiiles I couldnt see them using softer stuff. A wall of tyres the whole way along the barrier is what has to be done if they want to use citywest again, thats coming from the event management on the citywest side.

The soft barrier things they use in ebisu look the job, they just stick them up in front of the steel barriers, Ive seen them stop some serious impacts and the cars nearly always just drive off them, only problem would be the size alright....

the problem is PD dont own a track so they would have to be moved around and with irish weather once they get wet the weight of them would triple and then the smell of damp off them at every event would be enough to keep the crowd back miles killing all the buzz
