I attended races at The Glen in the 70s and 80s representing various works 
entries, and remember that Armco (and I think the chicane) was added when 
Francois Cevert was decapitated, and Stewart (with others) thought more rigid 
barrier was the immediate answer.  Cars and safety science has changed.  
Maybe The Glen hasn't kept up.  As a NASCAR property perhaps that will 
change....
