You are in Denver. Call Front Range Motorsports and set up an appointment with J.D. to sit in a few cars.

He won't steer you wrong.

Look at a Swift 008a and up. I am 6'1" @ 215 and fit in mine nicely. I was told NO on the RT-4 and maybe on the RT-40. Try it before you buy it, I did on the Swift and laid my money down.

Swift 016 might be your only FA option

Thanks Lads. Good advise everyone!
Be safe, go fast, have fun.

Eric,

I am 6'3", 225# with roughly the same measurements. A DB-4 is out. An RT-40/41 is out. A Reynard 89/90H or 92/93H will work with a roll bar mod. I currently have an RT-4 with an extended roll bar and hip relief panels and I fit fine. Feel free to email me at fattogatto@msn.com for details.

Hey Charlie,

My RT40 was a Barcalounger compared to my DB4, 0r RT41......just sayin'

Talk to the guy with the Reynard 93H for sale here on Apex it is Toyota and FT200.

When I tried to stuff myself into Nearburg's RT-41 way back when I was too tall. AFAIK Ralt did not stretch the tub for the 41. Charlie is close to my height but he wedged himself in somehow. He's also a lot thinner, unfortunately.

Here's JD's contact info. He's big on phones more so than email.

I still have Charlies old Reynard 90H for sale, modded hoop for the tall driver. Updated (strengthened) floor and bulkhead. Low use Toyota 4AGE with an aluminum cased Reynard box (Hewland MK5 internals).

It is quite a bit roomier than the Swift 008 I am currently racing.

I'll re-post the offer. If anyone wants any info on this car please email me at fattogatto@msn.com or ask here. I completely built it from the tub up, including the paint job. There's a sister car out there somewhere that I owned at the same time that I got from the Collier Museum in FL. and completely rebuilt, but this is the better one. It's a great car.

Prolly fit in this thing...
