Hehe Yes, short version! I remember when Kenny Bernstein (Top Fuel Dragster driver- if you've seen Bernstein's salad dressing- that's the guy) went on a diet to help secure his place in the winner's circle.

With HIS car?

Same car that Leno drove. I should have been more clear - ‘Tesla driver’ meant ‘professional driver employed by Tesla’.

Safe bet - he was considerably lighter than Jay.

Like jockeys - the best drivers are not big people.


Edit to add

..
And thats what happens when you post before reading the whole thread...
