The Roadracing World Action Fund has purchased new Airfence sections to replace sections damaged in use at F-USA events as well as to improve safety at Sandia Motor Speedway in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Two new Air Fence inflatable sections were delivered at Daytona in late February, to replace sections damaged during two years of deployment by F-USA and CCS.

And 15 new Airfence Bike non-inflatable sections will be assembled March 30-31 for use during motorcycle events at Sandia Motor Speedway in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which hosts SMRI and AHRMA events.

The Sandia deployment was spearheaded by SMRI, which agreed to host and demonstrate Airfence at SMRI events, provide a local crew to be trained in proper deployment and care of Airfence, as well as provide storage facilities for Airfence.

The Roadracing World Action Fund, Inc. has financed $192,954 worth of Airfence and Alpina brand soft barriers for road racing use nationwide, as part of an educational program designed to demonstrate the economic, social and moral benefits of using soft barriers to reduce rider injuries.

The Fund has also collected funds for soft barriers to be used for dirt track events, and is awaiting a reply from AMA Pro Racing regarding an offer to provide soft barriers and educational materials for use at AMA Dirt Track Nationals.
