About the Roadracing World Action Fund The Roadracing World Action Fund began back in 2001 as a grassroots movement to improve racetrack safety for motorcycle racers. At the time, hay bales or stacks of tires were placed in front of concrete walls for rider protection in case of a crash. A far better solution for rider safety existed - inflatable soft barriers which absorb the energy of a crash. Soft barriers â?? made by Airfence or Alpina â?? can allow racers to often walk away from a crash which in the past might have caused catastrophic injury, or even death. The Roadracing World Action Fund gained the support of the motorcycle community, as racers, riders, family and friends, motorcycle industry and businesses helped to make soft barrier the standard, rather than the exception, at motorcycle races and track days at racetracks across the nation.
