Ahhh... the Barack Obama whining comes to the world of sports. If you can’t deal with losing to a girl... then don’t play the game!

The rule says that lighter drivers have to carry ten more pounds on them.

The year was 2081, and everyone was finally equal.

[grellis]

Added weight makes sense to me. That’s how it’s done in horse racing.

[Domandred]

So now we have a sport that women have a built in advantage... what would the feminists say about that?

[Yo-Yo]

On one hand, they equalize weights between Jockeys for horse races.

On the other hand, if the other teams feel that a woman driver is an advanage, they can get their own women drivers.

[The_Republican]

That’s definitely a SEXIST rule. What about upper body strength advantage that Men have?

LANCE ARMSTRONG a great American Sports Hero and Hero in general, his BIGGEST advantage comes from being in great shape and essentially being lighter.

Time and again he took his leads in the Mountains during Tour De France. Its much easier for a rider to gain elevation when he is NOT fighting his own weight.

Should he have made to put weight on his bike to give fair advantage to other cyclists?

Little *icks can’t handle a real woman.

[AbeKrieger]

Tell me this - why aren’t the best (i.e. fastest) drivers all built like jockeys, if being underweight is such an advantage?

[Bommer]

Iwas such a advantage, she would be the Tiger Woods of racing, gettng win after win! This is her 1st win in 2 or 3 years

[absolootezer0]

y’all should check this one out :)

[snarks_when_bored]

Before each race each fully fueled car should be driven by its fully equipped driver onto a scale and weighed. Each car should then have weights added to it to make it weigh the same as the heaviest car/driver combination in the field. After that, start the race...

[Zathras]

When you PERK, you win?

[BlueNgold]

Anyone involved with racing for any length of time should be aware that a number of competitive series and even many local tracks use ‘wet weight’ to determine the minimum weight rule - that generally includes all fluids, a full tank of fuel and the driver.

This is nothing new and has been a contentious issue in rules management for many many years in multiple forms of racing.

I would love to see Danica try her hand at NASCAR racing, say down in the Truck Series at first. I think she’s got enough game to compete, maybe even at the Cup level, but the telephone books she’d have to sit on to peer out over the windshield might prove a disadvantage...

So before this all drivers have weighed the same? Haven’t some drivers been larger than others before this race?

I think a wambulance is in order.

[wallcrawlr]

obviously the answer is MORE female drivers.

[KC_Conspirator]

Ah, boo frickin hoo. Before it was "she can't win a race" and now its "Its unfair. Make it stop." She won the race fair and square. But now this tool wants affirmative action?

Get in better shape and drop some weight. Boy, what a wuss.

[kbennkc]

Is this why she is not married ? One mouth full of wedding cake is always good for at least 20 lbs .

[Smokin' Joe]

Boo Hoo!

Waaah!

Maybe she should pick on someone her own size...

[Lee'sGhost]

Damn! What a bunch of cry babies.

Glad I’m a CONFIDENT heterosexual.

Rex: “I thought it was just a heterosexual.”

Bob: “No, it’s a confident heterosexual”

[Steve0113]

...in a sport where the teams pay $500,000 to get 2 pounds out of the weight of a manifold.

Why would they do that if "all the cars weigh the same" at the start of each race?
