It works because pole position also applies to a leading or dominant position...not just to the initial starting position in a race.

I think it's ready for FFs stand up tour should he choose to use it.

The most favorable position at the start of an automobile race, typically on the inside of the front row of competitors.

The pole only exists at the start of the race.  Either way, it applies to a stationary object.

Oxford English Dictionary ... A leading or dominating position.

I'm happy that this works for a quip about penguins driving. 

It's there is FF wants it. ◉‿◉

Ah, yes, the Oxford dictionary.

Quote
the most favorable position at the start of an automobile race, typically on the inside of the front row of competitors.

The other use applies, as stated, ONLY to static objects.  Stationary.  Still.

Pole position is where the stationary pole is--at the start of the race.

But, whatever.

Maybe he has stopped/stationary waiting for the others to catch up.

Why sure.  I was beginning to think no one cared.

PK, do you want that end, or this end?  I'll go find my club.

It wouldn't be a good career move if I beat any kind of horse alive or dead. ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯
