Added weight makes sense to me. That’s how it’s done in horse racing.
Sure,
But why are they whining now? She’s been around for years. How about the Chicks that run top-fuel...never heard a gripe then either.
And if were going to balasst Danica, then everyone under a certain weight get’s balast..not just some arbitray 10lbs. Bring them all up to the FAA standard 170lbs or some SAE standard. No problemo. But then we’ll hear griping about where the balast goes. She will still have an advantage in that the weight can be anywhere they need it to be to balance the car...their fat butts have to be in the seat.
I agree with this....Weight IS a critical factor.
In general, men are 20% stronger than women. In a long race that strength will play a factor too.
How will we equalize that?
