Delivers the goods again. Rico is the man!!

Great race.... but a serious question I have always wondered...... With Rico weighing less than all other drivers, I know he has to make weight like all cars, but does the weight added to the car have to be in the driver area or not? I would think if the weight could be "added" somewhere else could give a slight advantage??? Always wondered about that.. Not taking anything away from him.. kid can wheel a hot rod.. NO DOUBT!

I pretty sure there is no minimum weight for Chili Bowl

There is no minimum. Also my first post should have included props to B C for his great ride and great sportsmanship at end of race when he came over to congratulate Rico.

Yes, Bryan gave it a heck of a drive! It is shame there can only be one winner, but as Zach Daum said, it is a great honor just to be in the starting field.

When the announcers were all picking their winners, I picked Rico.... but there was nobody around to witness or bet...
Oh well, fun race anyway...

Was great sportsmanship by BC.. stuff like that doesn't get the publicity it should.... But with no weight limit has to be an advantage for Rico.... car has to be lighter than everyone else's ....

The weight makes some difference, but Rico's biggest advantage is his immense talent. He has the right mix of fearlessness without recklessness that it takes to win at the high levels.
