The wall behind the tire wall is masonite. Very hard material. I intentionally used few screws to attach it to the table to give it some flex. Even so, before I put up the tire wall the cars were hitting the wall with a loud crack. None sustained any serious damage, but the tire walls are very effective in dampening the blow. The green Aston Martin that hit the wall in this photo was intentionally driven hard in the yellow lane by Mark so that we could record the impact in slow motion.
Slothead - I thought of using various materials to create an effective sand trap too. Any loose material would be a mess. Maybe a durable, high density foam surface? That would require much more drive-off than I have available in this tight space.
