    Racing with a backpack?

    I stopped by the track last Saturday and noticed one of the Hooters guys was wearing a backpack during the race. I can't figure out what this could be for. Anyone know?

    you know....I noticed the same thing on of the days that I was there. the only thing that I can think of is that is acts as providing more aerodynamics.... you know how some guys have the suits that have that hump behind their head - maybe it acts like on of those would. The one that I saw was a hardpack not an actual backpack that a hot little asian chick in a schoolgirl outfit with thighhigh white stockings and a lollipop would carry schoolbooks in...oh shit, I think I went too far again.......... DAMN YOU BEER....

    Another reason you may use one is for hydration..a camelpak with water in it

    Thanks. My dad said it looked like a parachute. Seems like it would get it the way though.
