Robby Gordon is complaining that Danika Patrick has an unfair advantage because.........

She weighs less therefore her car is lighter therefore she'd go faster.

Robby says he won't race against her until something is done about it.

Robby Gordon can

:01: :angry: STFU!!! and GTFO!!! :angry: :01:

then and maybe lose some weight. The rules have no weight limitation. What about a light male driver? Will he boycott him too? Robby weighs approximately 200 pounds. If a fella comes in weighing 150 is he going to piss and moan? Wtf does he want, weight classes like in boxing...separated by 3 pounds?

I don't watch oval racing but I hope she kicks everyone's ass just to be in history books. :dry:

I agree with you.

The complaint is ridiculous, unless there is some form of rule / handicapping system a la horse racing.

Robby Gordon clearly didn't think thro' his statement.

there is a definate advantage of having a lighter driver. they should have a handicap that makes all the drivers either weigh the same or car+driver= at least a certain weight. that way the races could be won on driver sk.... oh i see.

thinking more about it.

is driver weight fare game?

should it be a tactic played more in the future that no-one's considered until now ..or.. should the race be strictly about the mechanics of the car and the team's skill?

i'm guessing the racing people are as divided as me over this :unsure:

I don't care about you but if someone generalises about a group of people of which I'm a part then I'll react. The fact that it was you that commented plays little part in the tone of my reply.

Well, maybe it does, the fact I think you're an arse anyway just makes it easier to hit reply.

"on topic"

I read that story myself and it made me laugh, that was childish for someone like Robby Gordon. I was hoping she would win, but that would have made it more an issue in some eyes.


"off topic"

please keep this thread on topic, we know what happens to off topic posts :)
