Hi Chuck
Another solution if you need a couple of extra inches ..... my lid is the
alloy type, but you could do this in steel or indeed let in some fibreglass
bumps relatively easily. Im 6 ft 3 and this gives me 3 chear inches above my
helmet.
The bigger issue may be the design of the cage and how close this is to the
back of your cranium if you have long legs and the seat well back into the
car. Worth looking at.
Water wings not necessary for circuit use!
Regards
Tony
