No idea about current car measurements, but when I ran midgets in mid 90's to 2002, I ran stealth chassis and had enough room. I am 6'2". The new cars certainly look even larger than my stealths were.

Is the A frame behind the seat moved back? A couple of inches can make a huge difference. Many of the newer cars are 33 or 33.5 engine setback. 34 inch car could help some to as well as having a half box

DRC has the most room of any midget I've been in.. And that's a lot!

You don't need a special car although that would be nice. Make sure the A frame is moved backwards as someone else said. WE even relocated the steering mounts for me before. I'm 6"4'...

Here is a photo with the measurement I am looking for to help explain the best can what I am looking for....
CShuman, I reached out to CJ Leary as I didn't know he raced DRC. A friend of mine sons is really good friends with CJ so I hit them up for some help. Thanks!!

Depends on where you are running your fuel pump, but you can drop that steering down to just above the torque ball housing, and give yourself a lot of knee room, it puts your knees just above the steering, and your shins are in an open area, because your feet are back just a bit more, gives you a lot more room in the cockpit.
