i don't think drivers weights have been updated for years , maybe at all, so why bother putting it in the program
for some of the top drivers who deem it important to stay in some kind of shape it is not an issue
but for some of the older second tier guys cmon man , not even close to what is listed
 however i would suggest putting a few of the big fellas in the bike for jogging and training miles, then when a real driver who weights 70 lbs less hopes on the horse goes like shit

the fat boy jogger has been my theory and oughta have an impact.  Actually, some of the horses actually look back as they're scoring w/ a smile on the face.  When they catch a scrawny character like Page or Miller or Tyler in SW Ohio -- Jug, you are so right - they get movin' w/ that lite load.
