Agreed. so you went from 300 heavier, to 130 heavier....even if they bump the weight to say 190 youre in 20 better at 110...
Ding Ding Ding....in this lane weighing......lol I can just see that well get the Boxing "Lets Get Ready to Rumble guy" to announce drivers...
The weight of the driver in Drag Racing should have NO bearing , absolutley 0 on the performance of the package.
Then again at 6'1 220 (when I was riding) and those were GP125 and Formula 250 bikes....the old man said I looked "Like a monkey f***ing a football" but I really like the smaller bikes....lol..cant tell you how many races I slipped place because of weight next to the small guys, they would take my bike, and can run seconds faster.....same setup all weight.
But , I dont have a magic answer....the only thing I could see is "upping" it to the Average, average is fair right ?
Guess the Maxipad box it is......
