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.

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
