"It makes a big difference," race-winner Dan Wheldon said Tuesday. "If it didn't in qualifying, you wouldn't worry about the fuel. We try to make it basically run out during qualifying, and that's what a difference of six or seven pounds makes. I definitely think it's an advantage and I'm pretty sure in due time you'll have a rule change on that."

Of course it makes a big difference. Those that would dispute this just don't know what they are talking about.

Then why do you think it is that the horse racing "market" had taken this into account by shrinking the size of jockeys, yet IRL racing has not? Is it just a market imperfection that is only being addressed now? If it's such a big difference, then I am surprised that IRL drivers haven't become small over the years.
