We can't find a block heavy enough to stop a racer bulldozing his way past a board instead of waiting for a marshall.
A solution is put plow discs at the end of every hairpin or replace them with smooth curves (which we plan to build more).
The layout has to enable a skilled racer to hug the curves while running fast tight lines without breakage. And also be easy on the cars for less skilled racers as they bounce off the boards trying to get around the track.
