The Steel And Foam Energy Reduction Barrier (SAFER Barrier), sometimes generically referred to as a soft wall, is a technology found on oval automobile race tracks and high-speed sections of road and street tracks, intended to absorb and reduce kinetic energy during the impact of a high-speed crash, and thus, lessen injuries sustained to ...

Track lighting is a method of lighting where light fixtures are attached anywhere on a continuous track device which contains electrical conductors. [1] [2] This is in contrast to directly routing electrical wiring to individual light positions. Tracks can either be mounted to ceilings or walls, lengthwise down beams, or across rafters or joists.
In 1991, Smith directed the installation of lights at the track with the help of Iowa-based Musco Lighting. At the time, it was viewed as a major feat, as no oval track as large as the Charlotte Motor Speedway had ever implemented such a system. [139] The lights were completed in April 1992. [140]
The modern supermodified car is a front-engine / rear-drive vehicle with a big block Chevrolet engine mounted on the left side of the chassis to maximize kinetic force for left turns on the 5 ⁄ 8 mi (1.0 km), asphalt track. The normally aspirated, fuel-injected engines make 900 or more horsepower, or one horsepower or more for each two pounds ...
