Thanks Don,

That puts it more in perspective. A 4.8 rating is still not very good. And if they don't start filling seats at the tracks and gain more viewers, I feel they are eventually going to have to make some major changes. Like Wayne said, this car can take a beating but it is the neck braces more than that which is helping. If you remember Adam Pettys crash was just a minor brush with the wall but it snapped his neck back and forth. Same for Kenny Erwin Jr. though his throttle stuck open and he hit the wall head on at full speed but once again it was the neck snapping back and forth that killed him. I like the foam around the outside of this car, but that could be added to a real car just a could the rest of the safety measures.

Ron
