Actually I don't like most of the IRL drivers anymore. Most have little or no talent. As far as being against a woman, Sarah Fisher has driven for me and I love her to death. Face FACTS, Danica NEVER won at any other level, she can't win on this level except as a fuel mileage gamble. She finishes ahead of drivers with lesser teams. Look at the results, of the top teams she usually runs toward the back and only gains positions if they fall out. All for a talented woman like Sarah or Stephanie Mockler. Face it, the ONLY reason she has a ride is her looks. And msot fans and other drivers are sick of her little girl act where she pouts and stomps her feet like a 3 yr old. Facts prove me right.

You just can't the right facts on the web these days :rolleyes:
So I rechecked and from the IRL site Bruno is listed as 5-7/148, Helio is 5-8/147 and Danica is at 5-2/100lb. So the only bit that is in error is Bruno - no doubt someone having problems converting from metric :)

These facts are wrong.. Bruno may be 5 2 at best . I just stood next to him in Texas. I also bet he weighs 120 at best. You must have found or made up numbers to support ole racerdog45. And Helio can't weigh more than 130. And I bet Danica goes a over 100lbs as she looked fit enough to be considered a tomboy. So I'm sure you comment that she complained is off as well.

One of these drivers is being talked about as america's best hope in F1 and the other one is reviled as being not worthy of an IRL seat.

Racerdog, that's not really the issue. Plenty of men finish behind her why is that? Should they be out of racing? Rob is totally correct: where is her advantage? You said it yourself, she does not win, even with this supposed unfair weight advantage. Drivers weigh different amounts: some are lighter, some are heavier: this is not a new thing. Why are you all so upset by her? Let's face some other facts, the only reason there is so much hate directed toward her is because she's an outspoken women.

Once again I say "she doesn't make the rules.. She and Helio are the most popular drivers in the series. Their trailers were the only ones with massive crowds waiting for an autograph. My guess is you want her to act like Kimi to get your respect. Besides she runs circles around Milka Duno and Sarah Fisher and they look to weigh the same as she does. My guess also is that Bruno J. weighs the same. I doubt anyone in the league wants to take her on at the moment. Heck Eddie Gossage even said he didn't want to do battle with her at Texas. She is a media monster the same as Lewis and people get jealous. She also sits well in the point standings.
