How does someone like that fit in a Viper?

He doesn't fit into the Viper, the Viper fits to him. Actually, I've witnessed Derek get in and out of his SRT without issue. I always enjoy it when his Viper pulls up and watching people's expressions as he gracefully exits his Viper. Once he steps out of it, he makes it look like a mini-Viper.

The truck pull was insane...it looked like he was jogging with it at one point. 40 seconds! I think that squat lift with the 7th barrel may have taken some wind out of him. It's hard to tell, he's always pushing himself at 120%.

I can't wait to see the 70 ton plane pull. I think the rest of the StrongMan airs on the 7th?
