   Perhaps a set of stewards dedicated solely to watching track limits?   
      
   I tend to lean to replacing the curbs with deep, soft gravel outside the   
   paved track, so that any excursion results in -- at best -- considerable   
   loss of time,  or the offending car stuck and unable to continue. There   
   may be, and probably are, good reasons for not going this route, but it   
   would certainly define track limits in an unambiguous way that would not   
   require steward review.
