Some have mentioned the tracks look narrow. They do to me. I just realized why. Safer Barriers! -Larry

I've noticed that too, when you nudge the wall it actually feels soft to reflect the real life safety changes to the walls!
LOL. A SAFER Barrier certainly does not feel soft in real life. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ah ok, I thought you were saying they were spongy :) Its still steel tubing mounted on ridged foam so soft is a relative term. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yeah, I also noticed it ever so slightly sucks the front of the car inwards like you would expect it to. I like the way the wall-contact is worked out in NSR. Much better than the flypaper effects of NR2003 :) -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It's softer than concrete :) -Larry "Schooner" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:u7uRd.83$NN.44@edtnps89...

What he means is he's noticing the instantaneous difference between 20G and 50G when he runs head-on into it. Like you could feel the difference when you washed up into either one without deforming it. I love this guy - more, please... ;-)
Check out the apron at Michigan. If that's not narrow, I don't know what is... Marc "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JJsRd.48598$EG1.6450@lakeread04...
