How do the catch nets used in NHRA drag racing contrast to the ones in IRL?
They have some success

That's a new one... smdh.
"Nets" (catch fencing) killed Gilles Villeneuve... That's one of the reasons why they don't do that anymore.
Witness also the "catch" fencing contributing to the serious injury or death of several IRL drivers...
The intial hit is the one that hurts or kills you. After that, you're just along for the ride...

the catch fences you speak of are debris fences. BIG DIFFERENCE we are are talking about arrester nets or vences to slow a runnaway car down . this is used in drag racing and used on aircraft carriers.

Glad the outcome was a good one (well, not good, but not what it could have been).
That's one tough chica. So glad she is going to be ok.
