Too fat to drive I like to frequent the pit area at my local asphalt short track for some quality stock car auto racing. A few years ago, I saw a woman approximately 400lbs in weight. Of course, I mutter some comments to myself about how she's eating too much from the grease pit known to me as the tracketeria, and continue on. Fast forward to the driver's meeting. I go down, check what's going on, and see the woman again. The only difference is now she's wearing a firesuit. Wait, hold on, wearing a firesuit? It looks like the thing is about to explode with more ferocity than Hiroshima. I was wondering if we were all going to end up like the dinosaurs because of such a large asteroid impacting the ground. Then it got me thinking, how do they fit a whale in a racecar? Long story short, she finished nearly dead last and quit later that season. Not surprised, considering weight plays big in a car's performance.
