Any problem for tall Racer users?

[TallTom]

I saw a post by Keith Southern saying that he was 6'1" tall (186 centimeters) and that
he has his Racer configured in the last hole position for maximum length.

I have a Racer (Pro Pack) on order and I'm 6'6" tall (198.5 cm). I'm now worried that
I might need an extension or an extra long pole/shaft or something. Do any early Racer users
have an idea if I will? And has Makro/Nokta tested the Racer with tall users?
What options or provisions have you made, if any, for those of us who are taller than usual?

For comparison, I'm fine using my Tesoro Vaquero at its maximum length. I'm also fine
that way with a Tesoro Silver uMax and a Sand Shark. I'm even OK with a Bounty Hunter
Elite 2200 at maximum length. But in all those cases, if the length was any shorter,
I'd be bending over too much and hurting my lower back.

Thanks to anyone for more info about this.

Im 6ft3 and the core has more than enough length,some to spare ,only machine I have used without a tall man shaft- pretty sure the racer will be the same

That's good to hear. However, I haven't heard anything yet about whether the
Racer and the CoRe are the same or different in their maximum length extension.

But you're right -- if they designed the CoRe to work for a taller than average
person, maybe the Racer is the same way. I hope so.
