After somethin like 90 years, they suddenly want to change the weight rules cause they calculate she has a .8mph advantage.

Thumbs down Robbie

By that logic, maybe if Robbie goes on a diet and loses a few pounds he'll start qualifieing for cup races and maybe even finish on the lead lap for a change. He claims that she gets an extra mile per hour based on her weight. With how even everthing else is and the fact that she's in good equipment, if that were true she'd win easily. She got really lucky in that race though with the timing of her mishaps.

You'd also figure, 800 left turns at 200+ mph over the course of 2-3 hours, in a 100 degree plus cockpit, would put a little more wear on a 105 pound body than on a 180 pound one I figure that washes out the .8 mph speed advantage, if it even exists. The right engine, the right platform, even the right tires and tweaking of the suspension means more than 60 or 70 pounds less weight.

Just shut up and race. It ain't a horse race, no one gets any weight handicap and ain't nuttin' says all the "horses" have to go off at 126 pounds

I'd bet Gordon regrets making that statement right about now. He must be catching some heat. Seems he recanted his statement saying he wasn't picking on her personally. Sure sounded that way to me though. He is still a whiner
