You will only lose water weight....which is called dehydration.

There is exercise at the track, but not necessarily in driving. Walking around saying hello to everyone helps --

Driving on the track, even in a DE, is more strenuous than a "stroll to Starbucks".

I don't think either is a cardiovascular workout, but both are better workouts than drinking beer on the couch.

Sweet!

Been there done that, but with Reagan & the first Bush, and without a mohawk.

I think there are, but unless you are in decent shape before hand then you are just putting stress on your body.

By "banging", VR meant he often runs into the grid girls when trying to stage.

Lets see...DE's at Sebring:

lots of sweat
lots of walking the pits for me
drinking lots of water
eating light meals and healthy snacks through out the day

I say DE's are super healthy!
