I´m afraid its no comfort thingie.
(I´m driving a firebird with non-revalved Bilsteins. Whats "comfort"?!?  )
I´m also 6.49ft (edit: other converter said 6.51 - 2,00m)!
The helmet will push me into the seat by pressing against the t-top (or push my neck down, i´m not even sure if i could move my head at all - not nice for my field of vision...and saftey...).
But will see.
What kind of helmet do i have to use? any rules for that?

Lower the seat ?
Actually, that would be good for the slalom, lower weight center.
Chris, look at those cheap open face helmets (which I believe that is the ones we got for rent) they are open face and I believe not more than an inch thick.

Hell, if its going to be a cheap one, can I wear my mountain bike helmet? They offer about the same quality of protection.

ok, we already have the "kid's 60ft race" for Überraschungseier,
no helmet required
so we may have the 1/8 mile for mountain bikers and scooters as well,
mountainbike helmets required
adults with 4 wheels and full protection helmet get to go the full quarter
Take me serious!

My girlfriend thought about sawing my knees (to reach me easier).
No good idea IMO
