Julian -- we run a full competition cage in our Pantera (GRP3 racer) and it
is designed to give full head clearance for both my son and I (under 5'
10"). However the floor was lowered under the seats and the cage was
custom designed. We have no helmet contact - -but it is close. I will
try to upload pictures over the weekend.

Steven G. Lisa, Esq.
