Yes and no
Land speed racing is about personal goals as much as records. So once the 260 lb guy makes a run. Then adds somthing that reduces drag ,then runs again. If he or she went faster then it helped.
But if the 260 lb rider is unable to get into an aerodynamic tuck that is not as clean as the 120 lb guy then it matters. Or if the power is very low and the track is short then the weight matters.
I am 200 lb in my full leather gear. In 2009 My bike with no fairing went 104 six runs in a row. A friend that is Sixty pounds lighter made two passes on my bike and went 104 each time. In that case the weight made no difference.
