Robby Gordon said Saturday he will not compete in the race again unless the field is equalized.

he wont compete in the race again until team car owners are confeident that he has enough skill to drive the car without crashing it into the wall at turn one wich could be years down the road maybe he should take driving lessons from a woman instead of sitting around bitching like one

Give her a box of TDU weights and call it affirmative action.

What is this, NASCAR turning into a horse race?

Quit your whining

So, if I put a jockey in one of these cars he will automatically win. Why not put a weight requirement of inverse the weight of your brain to join these races?

"Right off the bat, a guy my size is spotting her 105 pounds," Gordon said. "That's the reason she's so much faster."

Sounds like he's conceding defeat. My suggestion: Give up and become a housewife. Make your spouse bring home the bacon.

Most athletes complain about women competitors because they aren't big and strong enough. Now they complain because they're too small?

Robby ain't doin' so hot on the NASCAR circuit. Maybe he should pipe down and race a little harder.

That's what I'm thinking, either jockeys or midgets or chimps.

What a whiner. He's making himself look really petty and foolish.

So should there be weight classes in auto-racing?

It's as unfair as male-against-female in any other sport. He's right.

In my own opinion- so what? If a woman wants to box Mike Tyson, she should be free to try.

I've defended this twit in the past, no more.

I'm on the verge of equating the name "Gordon" in racing to the name "Kennedy" in politics - don't wanna hear it, don't wanna see it, wouldn't EVER vote for it.

Sounds like Robby Gordon's just found something to whine about since he hasn't got a ride. Blame it on somebody else.

"If you're not a race driver, stay the hell home. Don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Get the hell out of the race car if you've got feathers on your legs or butt. Put a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat that candy ass."

in an arena where measured speeds are carried out to three places, a whole mile per hour is a LOT over time... that said, it's the CAR that has to meet spec. weight, not the driver. next year if they want to have a spec. weight for car AND driver, so be it... but for now, QUIT YER WHINING!!!

He's right about the physics......stated alternatively, she has a handicap of more than 1 1/2 laps.

Races are won and lost by fractions of a car-length.
