I opted not to comment on Trent's height.....after all, I'm no giant myself. But, as Phil Lombardi said, we (Phil, Trent, myself, and all of those little folks) are of "proper (height) stature" when it comes to racing.

Re: 1 Day Formula/MX-5 racing school
I think the only fair way to handle this is for the larger guys to be given wider tires and a 50 hp handicap.....

We already have that as our extra weight squashes the tires down and robs us of power compared to the feather weights.

Didn't I read somewhere here that big loads like me are actually quicker in fast sweepers because the extra poundage lowers the ride height?
Read my new book: 'Grasping at Straws', available soon.

You heard right... BTW we need your credit card number for that $150 bottle of additive and $50 air mixer that will give your pick-up truck an easy 127mpg!
