What surprised me was hearing that IRL cars' minimum weight was figured without the driver. In F1, the minimum weight is the car plus the driver. If nobody ever complained about losing to a smaller man, I think it'd be pretty shameful to complain about losing to a girl because she weighs less. But then, I can't say whether such complaints have ever surfaced. I wonder, if she starts winning, if they'll change the rules or leave them to encourage more women drivers.

That's just it, most drivers above the average weight of 170ish have been complaining for years. This is just the first time the weight difference has been about 5%. Take note the winner was a scant 156lb chap.

I met Michael Andretti (he is from the Lehigh Valley and Mario lives here as well) and he is small. Much smaller then my 6'1 1/2" 200lbs. I couldn't fit in the IRL on display comfortably.
