Robby Gordon says Danica Patrick's weight (100 lbs.) is an unfair advantage in the Indianapolis 500 and said Saturday he will not compete in the race again unless the field is equalized.
"The lighter the car,
the faster it goes," Gordon said. "Do the math. Put her in the car at
her weight, then put me or Tony Stewart in the car at 200 pounds and
our car is at least 100 pounds heavier.
Gordon explained "If we don't draw the line here, it's only a matter of
time before the racing world is swarming with midgets. Anorexic, female
midgets. Or worse, buggy-eyed midget babies with good reflexes."
Asked why he had not complained about the penis equipped pole winner
Tony Kanaan's 50 lbs. weight advantage, Gordon explained "It'
different. Tony's a guy. We go way back. With Danica - well, it's just
unfair. No way I can suck in my gut all 500 miles."
IRL not ready to measure Danica's weight advantage.
The IRL does not consider the weight of the driver in its race
specifications. While cars must weigh a minimum of 1,525 pounds before
the fuel and driver are added, drivers are not weighed.
Gordon's response to the IRL was swift. "If there's one
thing I've learned being a Republican it's this: if the rules work
against you, call your opponent a cheater and change the rules."
