safety changes

[edit]

This is a page the 2020 Indianapolis 500 it is not a page about Indy car racing. The safety changes referred to were not changes made for the Indianapolis 500 race nor are they specific to this track in this facility. They are changes of IndyCar rules. This is already a very long page. this entire section doesn't belong here. If there's another page it should be moved to it should go there. Otherwise it should be removed or greatly shortened. The history of the Halo and windscreen and what injuries that may have prevented are out of place on the page for the 104th running of the Indianapolis 500.

Agreed it is probably too long for this article. However, the aeroscreen was (aside from the COVID postponement) the biggest topic of discussion and interest going into the race. Considerable attention during the two weeks was put on the aeroscreen, and it was also a point of discussion during the race itself...not only the safety, but also how it affected handling, how it heated the cockpit, etc. I could see maybe the second paragraph ("On July 20, 20202....") being removed, as that's sidebar information that could be placed elsewhere. But the first paragraph, which is mostly background, is straightforward and pertinent enough. DoctorindyTalk 14:03, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
