The SAFER barriers are incredible. I've read that they can absorb anywhere from 30-50% of the impact vs. hitting the old bare concrete walls.
Yeah, a shame that not all of the barriers at WG are SAFER... they really need to take a look at that track. I've never seen such an impact I don't really. Maybe Jimmy Johnson's crash there when he was in the Nationwide series.... just a dead stop.
