Power steering could help Danica

This story talks about 100% throttle IRL drivers asking for power steering on road courses because their arms are so weak from lack of use on the ovals. The article talks about how much it would help the female drivers like little Danica Patrick. However, we see no mention of weighing the driver with the car so that lightweight drivers like Danica don't have a 50 or more pound weight advantage. It's astonishing that the IRL allows this hole in their rules to continue. It's the one of the biggest faux pas' in all of sports. It's analogous to the Ganassi team pushing Scott Dixon's car through the IRL tech inspection line 50+ pounds under weight (so driver+car it equals Danica's weight + her car) to see if it passes. We guess the IRL will have to do everything they can to help her eventually win a race, and if that includes adding power steering so be it.
