Revhead, as far as anyone can tell, they're just conventional concrete barriers (quite possibly the ones from Hamilton's street circuit). So, no, not even close to the SAFER barriers they use at major American ovals.
GB, I guess I'll have to dig up the 2007 coverage somewhere. The big incident I remember at Pukekohe from when the V8s used to run there, was that mess in 2005. It had just started raining, and all hell broke loose coming off the final corner and heading down into Turn 1.
