Danica Patrick...unfair weight advantage at Indy 500??

[Mini Vin]

first of all, does anyone know if there is a rule stating the weight limit of an indy car? if its not a rule, then its fair game. i see his point, but i think he is mad that a women is a better driver than he is...

Yes there is a weight limit on the car….BEFORE fuel and driver. That’s what they are trying to fight. I guess they want the weight limit AFTER fuel and driver.

Do you have that backass backwards?

 

[horseshoeing]

Ok, the weight limit now is without the driver and fuel and they want it with the drive and fuel. Is that right?

 

[CareBear3030]

Correct!

if so, then the female who weighs 100 pounds would have more feul, so less time on pit stop... they are making it worse :rofl :rofl

Robby Gordon wont get beat by a girl until her advantage is taken away....LoL!!!


Gordon, a former open-wheel driver now in NASCAR, contends that Patrick is at an advantage over the rest of the competitors because she only weighs 100 pounds. Because all the cars weigh the same, Patrick's is lighter on the race track.

"The lighter the car, the faster it goes," Gordon said. "Do the math. Put her in the car at her weight, then put me or Tony Stewart in the car at 200 pounds and our car is at least 100 pounds heavier.

"I won't race against her until the IRL does something to take that advantage away."


Does he have a case or is he just a whining little boy???

Loose some weight. have you seen Robby Gordon lately. Fat slug,
Okay he's not really overweight but if he wanted to reagain his advantage then he should go on a frickken diet. :gears
