‘Soft walls’ stock car
debut set for Indy
The new “soft-wall” technology used successfully i n |
Indianapolis 500 will get its first NASCAR race test on the sail
track, although wide use of the system is not expected for at least
year.
The barrier at Indy will remain in place tor the Aug. 4 Brickyar,
400 but will need extra padding for the heavier stock cars, NASCAi
officials said Tuesday. The Indy cars weigh about 2,000 pound
including the driver, while stock cars are about 3,600 pounds.
The foam pads at all four turns of the 2 1/2-mile Indianapol
Motor Speedway will be thickened from 16 inches to about 26inct
es.
While development is progressing well, the walls are not readyfa
use at other tracks, said Dr. Dean Sicking, head of the research groa:
developing the Steel and Foam Energy Reduction (SAFER) barrier:
the University of Nebraska.
“It’s being pursued aggressively, but we want to be prudent andre*
sonable so we get the best results possible for our competitors,” he saic
The SAFER is four steel tubes welded in 20-foot sections and bod
ed to the concrete walls. Between the steel and the concrete, pads)
hard, pink foam are placed 10 feet apart, allowing the surface to ben;
and thereby reduce force.
The still-experimental energy absorbing system was subjected::
eight hard hits at Indy without serious injuries.
Sicking pointed out that Eliseo Salazar hit the wall backward dir
ing testing just before the barrier was installed and. with a peak
about 115 G’s, came away with a season-ending injury.
Robby McGehee crashed at virtually the same spot on the tnd
after the SAFER barrier was installed. His peak G’s were aboutTSk
McGehee and was back in a car trying to qualify for the race just ovr
a week later.
“We believe those crashes were almost identical,” Sicking saj;
“It’s very promising in that the safety performance was verygoodar:
it helps us understand better these rearward hits.”
Sicking and George Pyne, senior vice president of NASCAf,
emphasized that more testing and development work needs to be dor/
before other tracks get the “soft walls.”
“The Indianapolis installation is only the first step in a very lor:
process,” Pyne said. “We’ve gone though extensive trial and errorar::
we’ve found that soft doesn’t always mean safe.”
Bob Bahre, owner of New Hampshire International Speeds
where Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin were both killed in crashes ft:
years ago, has expressed strong interest in having the SAFER barnr
installed at his 1.058-mile oval as soon as possible.
He will have to wait until at least 2003. Sicking said therean
still significant problems to work on for tracks of varying length
which effect the way the SAFER barrier is installed and how::
will react in a crash.
“We really have to test these issues using full-scale crash testm
before we would recommend the use of these barriers on any shit
radius track,” Sicking said.
There is also the issue of banking, with the race surface on map
tracks in the United States ranging from virtually flat to a steep#
degrees that could inhibit repairs to the wall after a crash.
“At Indy, they have 10- or 11-degree banking and you can drive:
truck right up and work on it,” Sicking said. “That wouldn’t beposs
hie at Talladega, where the track has 33-degree banking. We need:
find a way of making those repairs in a reasonable manner sow
wouldn’t have to delay the race for 30 minutes.”
Upset
Continued from page 1
“The team played with a lot of
confidence and, especially, a lot
of discipline.”
Needing only a draw to
advance, the Danes got goals
from Dennis Rommedahl in the
22nd minute and Jon Dahl
Tomasson on a counterattack in
the 67th. It was Tomasson’s
fourth goal in three games.
While the French could not
convert at all, Tomasson con
nected on a rare opportunity. In
fact, the Danes scored on their
only two shots on goal.
“I had a difficult time
today,” Tomasson said, “and
nine out of 10 times I didn’t
have a chance to reach the ball.
I just had to keep working,
working.”
Denmark earlier beat
Uruguay 2-1 and tied 1-1 with
Senegal.
Senegal gained its 3-0 lead
on a penalty by Khalilou Fadiga
in the 20th minute and goals by
Papa Bouba Diop in the 26th
and 38th.
In the second half, Uruguay
had goals by Richard Morales
in the 46th minute and Diego
Forlan in the 69th, and tied the
game on Alvaro Recoba’s
penalty kick in the 88th.
Uruguay narrowly missed
advancing instead of Senegal in
the first minute of injury time.
Senegal’s Famine Diatta head
ed a shot off the line and, star

a close-in header wide.
