Ideally, run an hour or bike two hours plus 300 push-ups and 300 bent-leg sit ups, every day. My reality, more than half that - Revere about doubles the aerobic bits.

Also, weight is important in low powered Skippy cars as every pound "consumes" horsepower. A 220 pounder is giving up the equivalent of 7 hp to a 160 pounder. The 120 pound kid has the equivalent of an extra 11+ hp. Heavier drivers aren't x seconds slower per lap, they're x pounds slower per lap. A few years ago, Charlie Hilmer lost about 70 pounds and moved from mid pack to regular podium contender in Masters.
