We lost Justin Wilson at this very track after an impact with his head from an object entering the cockpit. We could have easily lost RHR in the same manner.

And IndyCar is dong what to prevent this? Dragging feet is not a good solution. It is time to go to the halo like F1, or even more than that to protect these drivers.
Disband the hole concept & run the Silver Crowns at Indy in May. They have roll-cages...

Otherwise, it is what it is...they all know what they are getting into. The halo looks dumb....gota be a better way...(like a traditional rollcage if anything...)
