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.
These cars are incredibly difficult to drive and the faster you go the harder it gets. We're talking about a 100lb girl having to do the same work as a 200lb man. I think the advantage is to the men.
You must first understand Robbie and his complaining. He must have gotten this bad problem from his father who was a grade A complainer in off road racing. Robbie started off his off road career as a teenager doing the same thing. Boiled down to the 'fat' he is a spoiled little brat that has had nothing but a self-destructive career from the very beginning.
Ford spent millions and millions grooming him for a stellar racing career which could have led to many championships by now. But what does he do? One year Ford was having a bad year with their engines in the old CART days.(turbocharged 2.6 liter engines like they used to run at Indy) Robbie was having a bad race that day with his engine going bad. What does he do? Instead of pulling into the pits and parking it, he intentionally blew the motor from coninued abuse and then had the gall in the TV interview afterwards to do nothing but complain about the Ford engine, calling it crap as well as some other choice descriptions. Needless to say, he was thru driving Fords in Indy cars.
He was even witnessed spitting in a girl friends face in a bar in Arizona prior to the Parker 400 off road race.
This is truly an example of an extremely talented driver destroying his own career and future as a result of an unchecked immature and egotistical personality.
He could have been one of Americas greatest, attaining greatness such as Foyt, Andretti, Unsers, Rutherford and Mears. Not anymore, it is too late.
You clearly didn't read the article. By her weighing 100 pounds less, they estimated her car is about 1 mph faster. This is a 500 mile long race, where weight is extremely critical. 100 less pounds on one of these cars is not something that can be overlooked if it is suppose to be a fair race.
Question: Just imagine for a minute, two cars, identical in horse power and weight, traveling straight ahead for 15 miles. The only difference being one driver weighs 100 pounds less than the other driver. Who would you bet on winning the race? Would you consider this a fair race?
