From a press release:

The first 125 feet of Air Fence* was delivered on the afternoon of April 11, just in time to be deployed for the Adrenaline Freaks track day occurring on April 12th and the WMRRA season opener on April 13th and 14th at Pacific Raceways (formerly known as Seattle International Raceway). It was deployed an hour after it was delivered by the air freight company.

The Air Fence is the first of 350 feet of inflatable fence that WMRRA has committed to purchasing. The remaining 225 feet has been ordered, and will be delivered in time for WMRRA”s June date.

The cost of this fence, in excess of $35,000 with shipping, is being paid for partly by a promised contribution by Pacific Raceways track management, partly by a promised donation from the Roadracing.com Action Fund, but mostly by money raised through the WMRRA Air Fence Fund. So far, the WMRRA Air Fence Fund has raised approximately $18,000, and donations continue.

To celebrate the new safety equipment, there will be a signing ceremony where contributors to the Fund will get to autograph one of the new sections in turn 5 at PR. This will occur Saturday, April 13th after practice is over.
