Any of the big guys have fitment advice on these karts? I've always avoided the K1's of the world because I was afraid I wouldn't fit.
But I'm down 50lbs and more than 6inches in waist size (48 to 42 and those are getting loose). I think I might have a shot now.

It was tight when I was at 42", but worked. I had more problem with leg room.

[Steve Ekstrand]

I shouldn't have KJ's or Kurt's issues with height. I'm 6ft. And finally well under the 300 limits (268 today).

[Robert Puertas]

I fit fine. You should be ok.

and a maximum of 7' tall

Wholly crap I wouldn't have guessed that tall would fit. It'd be a funny thing to watch most of the Laker team whipping around out there.

And my shoulder survived the Tom Berry weekend just fine! I might need to try this.... Damn though, where to find the time???

Yeah, that's the good thing about karts, your knees just stick out further...

[Jeff Shyu]

Yes they do

[Kristoffer Gjevre]

My hipbone is too wide to fit into the K1 Speed adult kart seat which caused me to sit at a funny angle and the top of the seat edge hitting the middle of my back causing me pain for the next day...
but then a few weeks ago when I brought my 6 year old son to K1 Speed in Anaheim to drive the new junior karts (min height 48 inches) that they had just received I discovered that they had different Adult Karts too with a black seat (instead of the one piece molded red sidepod/engine-cover/seat I could not fit in)... I was not going to drive that day but they let me sit in it and I fit much better because it was a bit wider and it was back-fort adjustable on a slider...

Note that not all K1 Speed has the new junior karts (Oceanside was the first I was told about and then Anaheim).

I would be more interested if it was a gathering of autocrossers to go head to head.
