Rack 'Em Up!

Important news form "Tyler Durnden" (look it up) at Zero Hedge, Small Breasts Need Not Apply: Spanish Racetrack In Hot Water Over Giant Rack Requirement. A pretty good sampling of grid girls at the link, but I'll add a few, just because.
A Spanish speed circuit is in hot water after an advertisement for grid girls stipulated that they "must have a size 95 or 100 chest," which is roughly 36" - 38" according to La Vanguardia.
"For a car and motorcycle event we are looking for two ladies who will be available from Friday April 5 through Sunday April 7," reads the ad. "There is a payment of €200 net, plus any additional costs. There is one requirement: you must have a chest circumference between 95 and 100 cm."
The requirement was published by the Madrid-based event organizer Garbo Events, and was immediately censored by both the local government and the track's management - which completely distanced itself from the large rack requirement.
"What we understand is that some team has requested that request and the only thing we can do is to denounce it," said Circuit director Manuel Muñoz.
The firm responsible for the ad, Garbo Events, has also backpedaled on the ad - calling it an "error" made by an employee who "took a job offer four years ago and copied it in its entirety." They also said they don't work with clients who make boob-size requirements.
So they wussed out after all? Or will they drop it from the ad, but continue to choose what they want? Well, get woke go broke. That's the last Spanish race I'm going to go to.

FWIW, back in my working days, one of the other labs had an extensive field program that involved carrying heavy incubators into and out of the field, and onto boats. To avoid charges of sexism, one of the requirements for the job was to be able to lift the damn things into the back of the van. Only one woman could do it, and she kept the job for 20 years.
