Obviously they do not represent the track boundary. If they do, then everybody seems to be cutting the track.

To spear the riders when they crash.

All this advertisement gets in the way.. Mark the track with banners and tires. Grant almost got taken out by a tuff block cover, track had to be changed at Glen Helen because of a Monster sign, and Alessi almost got slammed because of a Scott flag. Just mark the damn track with banners, tires, and haybales and put the advertising on the bikes, and the spectator fencing.

Electric fence. Cross it and it shocks the shit out of you until you re enter the track.

Economic stimulus, I thought I read this weekend those little yellow markers are $6 a piece?

That could've been a real hard crash that Mike avoided. Must have some good karma; or someone looking over his shoulder.

Be nice if we all could go back to the days of leaning over the snowfence...Smile

They're there to annoy the riders when they run over them.

The purpose of the yellow stakes? As far as I can tell, they're designed to irritate the crap out of photographers.

I miss snow fencing and the steel posts with a tire hung on them.
