1-bigger, softer barricades ...

Hard impacts are rare when you're travelling parallel to the wall.

2-soft center divider along the entire strip so a crazy car doesn't take out his competitor

crossing the center line is common and usually the only casualty is a foam block or two. Two vehicle accidents are very rare.

(-- even a 48" high wall sitting in a 12" deep trough could delay the cross over a second or two.

How are the Jr. Dragsters going to see each other? How would other pipe-rack divers judge the finish line?

3-fluid catch pan/tray under the engine.

Diapers are being phased in, have been for a while.

4-if a car has a parachute and is not reasonably close to the center of his lane, or tire pressure drops way low, or a fire occurs, there should be an electronic auto-deploy of the parachute.

Yeah, I want someone pulling the chute on me when I still have a chance to win, flames or not. You're allowed to use the whole lane, if necessary.
