Weight requirements for drivers are they serious? Or just intimidated?

May be...

Its a moronic rule.....it tells me one of two things..

They are worried a girl will beat them.

-OR-

Drivers are jealous that she is garnering so much attention without winning.

Its one or the other...either way its ridiculous. One of the few positives sponsor/viewership/endorsement wise that IRL has and they are pushing her away.....

At just 100 pounds, she weights 20 pounds less than the two other women on the circuit, Milka Duno and Sarah Fisher. The heaviest driver, according to the IRL guide, is 165вЂ"pound Ed Carpenter.

The rationale for the move? Patrick told USA Today that she asked IRL honchos for a reason for the change. "They didn't really have one," she said.

NO

There needs to be a weight limit to equalize the field but it should be a car with driver weight limit. That way they have to add more weight to the car if the driver is to small and take it away for heavier drivers!!

If they did that, the team would be on the driver to lose weight instead of saying it is wrong!!!

I guess people really do listen to what Robby Gordon has to say and I agree 110%. I doubt anyone is intimidated by Danica dude. She leads the IRL with the least amount of passes for position gain. That's not a good stat.
