Excellent Post Grand Central. I have learned a lot from it.
Anything that helps with Rider Safety has to be a good thing. I honestly believe that Air Fences, fitted properly, is the way to go.
No - we are NOT!!
What we ARE doing is reducing the risk of serious injury. NO System on this Planet is infallible and incidents (like Chris Holder's) will ALWAYS happen as long as Riders ride Speedway.
As I say - all we can do is to try and MINIMISE that risk - and - THAT we are doing with Air Fences. In my opinion - they are a MUST.
I agree - but for the bit about commercially. 'Commercially' should have nothing to do with who gets through to the Final of ANY Competition. It is the Competition itself that should decide that.
