Some have mentioned the tracks look narrow. They do to me.
I just realized why.

When I say soft I mean the impact does not feel as harsh as concrete
and you tend to bounce off the barrier.

Ah ok, I thought you were saying they were spongy :)
Its still steel tubing mounted on ridged foam so soft is a relative term.

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 :)

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... ;-)
