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

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.

I know all that......but now that she took 4th, none of it matters, does it? :)

I'm sure the rules will include the total car/driver, et all weights next year......and also that Robby G will be awhile living down his whining, too.

Hats off to this All-American girl!
