Fat arse stock car drivers

If you're 6'1 and look like a skelton at 210, it's because you have no muscle. You could easily drop down to 180 without issue and look "normal". Would it take work, of course.

Lol....I think you have it backwards....but ok......

No its not my body....its my face....it looks hollow and gaunt....and with as much as I talk Ive got no idea how to make "face muscle" maybe my face is just ripped....yeah thats it....

(From March to late July I ran 5 miles a day till I twisted my knee screwing around...work isnt a problem)

I thought it was hysterical. I'm probably the smallest driver in SS. Definitely the most handsome though.

Running 5 miles a day doesn't build muscle. Great for your heart, but a great way to stay what we call, skinny/fat. Quit worrying what your face looks like, get yourself in better shape and then you won't have to worry about the weight issue.

Does anyone know how long the 170 pound figure has been used for a driver?
Did they account for the fact that you have to wear a helmet,harness,fire jacket,and now fire PANTS too?

What is the history of adding weight for the driver?

If your weight break is 10.5 for the F/SA class,why can't you take your horsepower rating and simply multiply it by the class weight break?

Example:

Engine is rated at 360 horsepower.
360 X 10.5 (F/SA Weight Break) = 3780.
PLUS 170 pounds for driver = 3950 total weight.

Why is 170 pounds added?

This might be a way to help everyone get some of their 3 tenths back on the indexes.Everyone could run 170 pounds lighter.

I think Bill Dedman has a story about the history of driver weight that he could explain here.
