my question is, if they have room for that grass before the retaining wall, they have room for a kitty litter trap. Why doesn't the track have one?

Exactly right about the probably cause of death. Its called a basal skull fracture. Typically caused when the car comes to a complete halt abruptly. Causes the head to snap forward violently. If you want details of what happens next, Google it. Its instant death.
Fontana has a temporary infield road course. Few, if any of those type of courses have sand trap run offs.
All competitors in this type of affair sign documents releasing the track from any form of responsibility. If you don't sign, you don't get on the track.
