I understand the need for safe runoff areas. The advances made in track safety in my lifetime are fantastic. The drivers, however, have been abusing these safety improvements to gain an advantage. We all see that. That was never the intent. So, maybe the next "improvement" would be to eliminate paved runoff altogether. Have the sand traps start right on the other side of the white line and eliminate the curbing. The tracks would remain every bit as safe as they are today, but the drivers would certainly learn to color inside the lines.
