We are talking about protecting children here too, and they have to be in that spot to do their unless the boards are moved, so to me its a no brainer and well overdue.

I could not agree more that the scouts and the sign writers need protecting from any, God forbid, accident along the area where the scoreboard is, at speeds of up to 180mph the debris could fly anywhere. I also feel that the pit wall area needs some kind of protection, I always felt vunrable when in that area especialy when holding out a pit board.
