So I was looking at the pictures from the event and could not believe my eyes when I saw the big roof bulge on this Vette...
I think it is awesome that he did this to fit and have fun with the car!
But exactly how big is this guy (I am 6'3" and fit fine in a C6 with my helmet on)?

-kg

I rode with him, super nice chap and yes, his helmeted head does go all the way into the bubble!

I rode with Tom Barrett as well.
A nice gentleman. I felt like a dwarf (is that politically incorrect?) next to him.
Had fun this weekend
Thanks all.

Yeah, Tom is a swell guy... A gentleman and a scholar.

[Hey... He's really frickin' huge okay.... I don't want to piss him off.]

I rode with Tom as well on Sat., and let's just say between the two of us, the car was very well planted. It had to've been some kind of two-seat driver/passenger weight record record!

Yeah, I figure it was roughly akin to strapping a side of beef across the roof.

Yeah, thanks for the kind words.

I was thinking instead of a pax average next season how about everyone adds 200lbs to their cars to handicap me a little

I wish big meant faster, maybe I should start running down hill races instead?

How do you think I feel pulling up to the line battling Andy Hollis, or Ken Motonishi, or Kyle Williams in a 2000lbs 90ftlbs torque car!!!

I figured last year I was giving up 245lbs to Andy. 12% more weight in race trim. Ouch.

Ok, so you get a 100 lb weight reduction somewhere else?

Big guys should make the rules right?

In Texas they used to tell me "I bet you were big even when you were little"

Yes I was ;)

I'm been proposing a 25% minimum body fat rule for ST.

but Jeff, when you only eat 1 meal a day it doesn't really matter what it is that you eat.

If I put you on the Kurt diet I bet we could put some meat on those bones.

if i put you on the "Jeff diet", i bet you'd gain a pot belly in no time..

i may only eat 1 meal a day, but all the empty calories i get from beers, should make up for it..

Pot belly? Hell I've already got the whole damn pots & pans *cabinet* going.

lol something like this would be great for me. even without a helmet my hair touches the roof of my car. with a helmet i have to either smoosh myself in or lean back like a cholo.
