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.

But she has the crippling disadvantage of being a woman driver... she needs every edge she can get!

[Constitution Day]

You are quite correct on the physics.

I'm sorry that all those blinded by her gender/beauty can't recognize that he has a point.

True, but you have to deduct 1.3 laps for the time she takes for fixing her make-up while going through the turns.

How would you handicap her with her being a rookie in this race?

There are male drivers over 200 pouinds, and some under 150. Funny how we never heard anything about a weight handicap in any type of racing in the last 100 years till a woman might beat male butt in the Indy 500.

The loss of upper body strength that accompanies lower weight more than compensates, especially on high G tracks.
