DanG Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think a spec car may be in my future, but I haven't driven any. I would like to drive a spec miata, 944 or E30 to see how I fit and if I like it. I am 6'2", with most of that legs, so being able to fit properly is my first concern. I'm looking to rent for an HPDE session in NASA Northeast, and not necessarily for a full day, but I'm flexible. Also looking for any real world advice in this selection process - so thanks in advance for any input. -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmmotorsports Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Dan, I would love to let you try mine, but I have a bolt in cage and it doesn't fit as well as a custom cage would. Therefore, @ 6'2", it might be a tight fit. I am 6' and it is close for me. I didn't plan on running @ any NE events but I might be able to bring my 944-SPEC car to one for you to try. What DE group are you in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urtoslo Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've got a Spec Miata, SM 83, that I rent out. If you're local to northern VA, you can see if you fit in it before anything else. I'm 6'0" with plenty of leg room. Andrej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comatb Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Dan there are 25+ 944's registered for the Glen PCA race on May 29-31. You would be welcome to test fit mine and other 944's. I have a 1986 944 with a custom cage and is #211 in Riviera Blue. Hope to see you there Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks alot guys. For my background: I'm currently in HPDE-2 and drive a stock Infiiniti G37S. Looking at some mods right now. Prior to getting into NASA last year I drove 2-different MR2s over 15-years and put 300k miles on them. Took the Skip Barber 3-day racing class about 10-years ago with hopes of getting into racing - but then got married, 2-kids, yada-yada-yada. Will PM if I can hook up. Thanks.

dweymer Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 FWIW-we ran the lemons with a 944, and an autopower bolt in cage. Our tallest driver was 6'4 and he was ok. I am 6'2 and have plenty of room in my 924S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
