Bernie, I'm not complaining merely suggesting an area that needs improvement. Are you not open to suggestions from customers?
As Dirtdawg said, "The pipes are not there to stop trucks anyways they are there for lane seperation." My point exactly. If a tube is up so high that it stops a monster truck it's too damned high! And don't say, "well you shouldn't hit them" because I've seen all of you guys hit them. It's not realistic to think it won't happen.
A much more important point to consider: If the pipes are low enough so that when someone gets off track they can self marshall to get back on then there's less chance of a marshall being injured. Proper usage of pipes to "outline a track" is a safety issue as well. That's why I keep bringing it up. I've been hit by buggies while marshalling-it really hurts!
