I understand her weight gives her an advantage by making her car lighter. Is there anything physically about a woman that would put her at a disadvantage in racing. I am asking this as a serious question because I don't follow this sport at all and don't know the physical demands that are put on one's body in a race.

Not sure; I think strength and stamina are two things, although she does look well conditioned; probably better conditioned than allot of her male counterparts.. And at 100lbs I wonder about her dehydrating, but I am sure they have that covered.

As I noted in the post above yours, even at equal weights, women tend to have lower upper body strength, which matters.
